Hello,

i5-8400 should come with a CPU cooler that is sufficient, unless its i5-8400 Tray, which doesn't come with a cooler.

GTX 1050 Ti is enough if you don't care about graphics settings. But if you want higher graphics with good framerates you should get the 1060 6GB.

I saw the requirements for Fallout 76 is minimum GTX 960 2GB, which isn't far from a GTX 1050 Ti. So, you'd be meeting the minimum requirements for the newest games coming out over the next year or two. http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=35623&game=Fallout%2076

If you want to run 5x fans, most motherboards have 3-4 fan headers. But you can run 2 or more fans from a molex connector on your power supply; or you could get a fan hub like this one...

I haven't' seen that power supply on any list of rated and reviewed PSUs. I'd stick to known reliable PSUs.

If you want to run 3000MHz RAM with your i5-8400 you will need a Z-series (Z370) mobo. If you go with an H or B series you will be limited to running whatever RAM you get at 2666MHz.

Hope this helps.

*I just realized you keep saying i5-8400 "Box".
Be sure that isn't an eBay listing trying to sell you the box only and not the CPU. That's a common scam on eBay.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from grupaespanol131l : "Would you change anything in my build"




depends on what you wanna do. the 1060 provides 60+fps in AAA titles @1080p. the 1050Ti @720p. @1080p. you'll look at medium settings in some titles.


overkill. 2 front / 1 back should be sufficient. even 1-1 could, depending on your ambient temps


it has a cooler. ain't the best but sufficient.
i'd go with a H370/B360 board. No need for a z370 board with a locked i5 and this budget


2666MHz RAM if you find a set cheaper than the one you've picked.
definitely a different PSU. a 450-550W PSU from the PSU Tier List that fits your budget (tiers 1-3)
