waste of money on 3rd party cooler and thermal paste, B450 MB is good enough, 3200 ram is better to have, rgb is your thing I guess?

It's always good to have extra thermal paste. Cooler installation doesn't always go perfectly the first time. MX-4 is the best.

*Further opinion: I like the original build. I'm not a fan of that cooler though. I'd rather have a ~$68 Noctua. A better GPU would be nice, but with the higher-quality parts you've got I wouldn't' say you have to change anything else. Good quality all-around except the cooler.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from adonadonadonadon : "thoughts on my first pc build?"

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/2VmPcY what type of games do you think this pc will be able to run?

It will be able to play about 3 games and then the 250GB SSD will be full. I would add a 1TB or 2TB HDD for game storage.

It can run any game though. It will do well at 1080p and 1440p and even well enough for 4K gaming.

You're spending extra on RGB power supply and RAM and even motheboard, but you got that non-LED blower-style GPU that will be hot and loud. I'd say put more money in to your GPU and get a dual or triple fan model with some at least some LED or RGB lighting to make the rest of it not so overkill.

adonadonadonadon, SSD's are for OS and apps that you would like for them to load quickly while a HDD is for storage. Otherwise you going to run out of space PDQ.

Question from adonadonadonadon : "please help me ;-;"

Okay well hello, i was picking parts out for my new pc build and originally for the motherboard i was going with a gigabyte x470 aorus gaming pro but i had heard that it had a messy bios, mind you i dont have any intention on overclocking or anything since this is gonna be my first time building a pc, i changed my motherboard decision to a MSI - X370 XPOWER GAMING TITANIUM ATX AM4 Motherboard but when i selected it i got a compatibility error saying "Some AMD X370 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Pinnacle Ridge CPUs. Upgrading the BIOS may require a different CPU that is supported by older BIOS revisions" could you explain to me what this means please also the full parts list is here https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gmzPcY

If you need a bios update to be compatible with 2nd-gen Ryzen, then you will literally have to have a 1st-gen Ryzen CPU on-hand to install and update the bios. In other words, if all you have is an X370 + Ryzen 5 2600 and the motherboard requires a bios update, you can't use it. You would need a different CPU.

Avoid that and get an X470 instead of an X370. Or B450 instead of B350.
