Double-check my first PC build (de.pcpartpicker.com)

My 5 year old notebook is starting to show it's age, so I want to finally build a "real" PC. I rarely play games, so this is probably overkill - But I don't want my PC to be what's stopping me. I also expect it to last a while.

I chose all AMD because I'm running linux, and AMD seems to still be the best choice for that.

I found a couple similar posts on which I based this list, so most of the parts are probably fine. I'm unsure about the cooler: How much headroom should I leave? This one is rated just 10W higher than the CPU TDP, so it might be cutting it too close.

Right, I might just see what cooler I can get second-hand. Thanks for your input!

Good luck! Building your first PC is a great milestone.

I also recommend seeing if you can find a build video using your exact case, so you can see if there's any parts you should do in a particular order. Knowing what to expect when I built my SFF PC was a big help.

Peerless Assassin isn’t much more expensive. I have it on my Ryzen 5700x, and it’s never audible. At idle my PC is pretty much silent and while playing games GPU and case fans hides any noise the PA makes.
