I’m helping my friend pick out some parts for his first pc! He has a budget of ~$800 (for everything) and this is what we can up with:

(he has a mouse, keyboard, and headset already, he’s going to sell his old laptop, but he suggested that if he had the extra cash he would like a new mouse and keyboard, idk if pcpartpicker calculates tax, so I told him to save buying those for last if he had the extra cash.) Idk what mail-in debuted are, but I assume they don’t apply, so add $15 to the final amount.
So I just wanted to double check with everyone, is this new-builder friendly? Should he get a cpu cooler with that budget besides sticking with the stock? And are there any compromises that could be made without and too much of a quality drop off (it would always be nice to get things a little cheaper)?
