TL;DR Requirements for a new cooler.
Ryzen 5 7600 (65W)
mATX
Quiet.
Edit. This case will take a 240 AIO.
(Why doesn't everybody put the TL;DR at the top. Make me read the whole thing just to have a TL;DR at the bottom. This is why I'm better than you. The only reason to be sure though. You got me on everything else.)
Wife needs a new computer. She's rockin' an AMD Phenom II 1100T and an Nvidia 1050. I have everything picked out except for the cooling. Here's my thoughts and requirements.
Here's the part I'm needing help with.
Ryzen 5 7600. This part is only 65 Watts. Not to be confused with the 7600X which is 105 Watts. I could get away with air cooling but only if it is silent.
So that's the main criteria. Above all else, it must be silent.
Needs to be small too. I'm going mATX.
ASUS Prime B650M-A-AX II
Case looks like I'll get the Silverstone SUGO 14
16 GB of AMD compatible RAM DDR 5.
NVME
I'm still going back and forth over the power supply. I'd rather not spend the money on a SFF PSU and the case I selected allows for ATX PSUs. This case also allows for one of her DVD RWs. We both still use disks on occasion.
That's all I can think of that may be of importance.
While this is NOT a Christmas gift, it's still a surprise. So act like you don't know nothin' if she asks.
