If you like the p400 maybe take a look at the p350x. They fixed the airflow issues and looks are similar with some rgb bling.

Else nzxt h500 or as mentioned above the meshify c are good options as well. Fractal is a swedish company btw. I got the case myself and I really can recommend it.

Wouldnt recommend the b450 aorus m. Awful vrm temps and overall no good components.

550 watt psu will be plenty and save you some money.

You probably wont even.notice the difference between the 970 evo and something like a crucial mx500 but you pay double the price for it.

Moreover I would pick a different cooler. Something like arctic freezer 33 esports one is cheaper and will perform better.


Hi!

I started looking at the Fractal Design Meshify C Temp G and I think it looks great. It has the frontal airflow that I'm looking for and I don't mind few db over the coolness it brings.

So what about the motherboard? This was the one I was recommended since I have no use for wifi and other useless junk :P Will look into the ASUS Strix B450 one.

Changed to a 550w Psu instead!

I've only used Noctua cpu coolers before and they're 80$.. The shop I'm buying from doesn't sell the arctic one. Mostly CM and Noctua ones..

Wifi usually means wireless internet and bluetooth on mobos. Not everyone needs it, but it's a nice feature to have. It (b450 aorus pro wifi) also has the premium ethernet and sound chipsets. If you really just want a budget board get a cheap asrock one, but IMO the premium features are worth the extra like $30

Also CM coolers are fine, but I'if you're going AMD you dont really need an aftermarket one unless you're gonna heavy OC, in which case you'll want a $200 mobo, better psu, etc.
