That's a solid rig. Although I think you can do better with your SSD.

why spend money on a cooler Most stock AMD coolers aren't great for long term heavy use, or overclocking. Plus they can sometimes be noisy. Third party coolers almost always run quieter and cooler. --- Time is a funny thing. There is always too much of it, except when you need it the most. Then there is never enough. ...

I skipped the aftermarket cooler and went with the stock. Wraith Spire looks fantastic and it runs quietly. Plus I'm not overclocking at all so it'll do fine.

Not bad bang for your buck.
I agree with the poster that suggested going with an Intel CPU. They really are the best. Even their mid-tier processors are extremely powerful and efficient. After looking at the specs on your MOBO, it was a pretty good choice given the processor. --- "He busted in, blessed be the Lord Who believe any mess they read up on a message board" -MF DOOM ...
