Any Changes Before Order? [First Full Build]

Build Help

Would you guys recommend any changes to this setup before I order the parts? I've read that the stock cooler that comes with AMD chips is sufficient, do you guys agree; or do I need to get something like the Noctua NH-D15 chromax.black? One further question, will the motherboard be okay- its the lower end of the 570s?

The computer will be used for mostly gaming at 1440p (2560 x 1440) at 144hz refresh rate with freesync. However, I also need to use it for large data analysis (500,000+ observations and 100+ variables).

The motherboard should be ok since the ryzen 7 3700x runs at a 65w tdp also i would try to upgrade the gpu to a rtx 2070 super

Looks pretty good, though an aftermarket cooler wouldn't be a bad idea. Yes the stock cooler is adequate, but it can be a bit noisy and isn't as efficient in terms of temperatures as aftermarket options.

You certainly don't need anything fancy, like a big Noctua or liquid cooler. Something like a Cooler Master Hyper 212 would be adequate for a stock or slightly overclocked 3700x. And if you want the RGB that the stock cooler has, the Hyper 212 has an RGB version that looks very nice too!

(Also the hyper 212 won't cause any clearance issues with your memory)
