This board can't even prove that open air graphics cards are better than blower cards

Thank you, user!

Honestly if it'll make you happy just go for the U12A. My brother has almost the same specs as me(same CPU,GPU,mobo and 32gb ram) and his temps are within 1-2 degrees with his D15 and my U12A. Factor in the different cases and airflow around our computers, I'd say that makes the gap within variance.

I don't know why anyone buys anything other than the arctic 34 or mugen 5.
They look nice, perform well for a

Any comments, suggestions, etc.? I have $1600USD to spend including peripherals.
I plan on using the computer for casual gaming (fighting games, CSGO, and horror games) and internet browsing. I also want some semblance of future-proofing in that I ideally won't be buying anything else for the inside of the case for at least 3 years.

Why are you buying two SSDs? Also, why one MX500 and one 860 Evo? You'd probably be able to get a 500gb mx500 instead of a 250gb 860 Evo.

why does anyone buy a new cooler and not use their old hyper 212 evo?

I don't really know I was just copying a few other buy guides I saw because this is my first PC but I appreciate the advice.

Change CPU to 3600
Remove the 860 evo (what hte fuck do you have it already or something? why would you pay $65 for 250Gb 860 evo?) and just increase the SSD to 2TB.
Change case to Versa H18 and save $55
Replace Noctua fans with Arctic ones. P14s I guess.
Why not get a 5700..? Or at least spend the $10 more for the 1660 if it's still on sale.
Wooting and Bloody make low latency keyboards which help with competitive games. Expensive, but within your budget.
That LG Nano-IPS 1440p 144hz monitor. Not sure if it'll fit in budget with spending that much on keyboard idk.

Huh apparently loads of 2TB SSDs massively jumped in price. MX500 and SU800 2TB are $50 more expensive than last week.
