The stock is sufficient but when you get the extra cash you could get the CM EVO 212 Black which is really good.

Another option for the build is the Ryzen 2600 but you'd need to overclock it to get close to 9400F performance. The good thing about Ryzen is the extra threads which are good to have if you want to stream but if your not into overclocking then stick with Intel.

Hey, i looked at pcpartpicker and it says "

• Note:The motherboard M.2 slot #3 shares bandwidth with a SATA 6.0 Gb/s port. When the M.2 slot is populated, one SATA 6.0 Gb/s port is disabled." can you elaborate on this and try and fix it with potentially different components , Thank you

It just means that when you use that M.2 SSD that one of the 6 SATA ports on the motherboard is disabled because your using the M.2 slot. There is no fix as there's nothing wrong, the M.2 NVMe SSD will be much faster then any SATA SSD.
