Target is a reasonable spec to run games at nearly full res with decent fps. Dont really want to spend more than that but wonder if some is overspec (motherboard?).

After advice if thats a good system spec for the cost?
What is a good CPU cooler?
I have SSD and HDD that I will use from the previous one.
Is that power supply OK as seems a very good cost. Is it enough power, possible in the future might want to run 2 vid cards at once (if thats possible)

Hi

You need to remove those links as they are against forum rules ;)

Have you considered Ryzen ? Something like an R5 1400 would be a good choice for the same sort of price as an i5. You also get a decent stock cooler with it.

What is your budget ? The psu is 'ok' but I would probably swap it for something else. Also no SLI is possible with the 1050 ti. Only the GTX 1070 and above for current cards.
