Cooling fan – (upHere P4K CPU Air Cooler 6mm x 4 Copper Heat Pipes CPU Cooler with 120mm Fan PWM 1800RPM 77.93CFM for Intel LGA – Amazon) – The fan that i chose was the cheapest option for a CPU cooling fan on Amazon, plus name brand coolers are too expensive and sometimes unnecessary in my opinion. Other CPU cooling fans from named brands would definitely be a better option, but you would only see the slightest difference in temperature between the two.

Whether you want Windows 11 or Windows 10 is your personal preference. Make sure you will be getting the 64GB to 128GB version if you want good performance while gaming.
