This is the build is that cooler enough for the cpu? Is that cooler ok or I should go for a corsair ?
They are testing it now so I would have to change it after it comes.

I think you've went far too low on the case, PSU & cooling. 3 absolutely critical areas of the build that often get over-looked in favour of a shiny GPU & CPU.

I would recommend looking for advice across the build in its entirety given these selections. What is the build for? Is it purely gaming? What monitor are you pairing the system with? What's the budget? Can you provide the unique URL of the build (It's generally at the bottom of the list that you copied).

Edit: Just noticed you said it's in testing. I think it may well be too late to make changes now. Should always ask for advice before hitting the purchase button. Give them a ring and see if they can swap out, at least, the cooler & PSU for you.

I've order that "pre-build" magnus supreme and it came with a pcs 150 frostflow , and they didn't had it on stock so I changed it for 240 but I feel like I should got the corsair capellix.

Like I said, I would have gotten advice prior to purchasing. It compromises in a number of areas to keep the costs down.

I was thinking that they calculated everything and wouldn't deliver something that would be faulty or have problems on the future.

It certainly won't be faulty. Future issues depends on context really. Better selected base parts would offer more performance and better scope for future upgrades.

I will get a 2560x1440p monitor. I will get some aaa games and some warzone/valorant. Hope it will run ok.
And about upgrade it looks pretty balanced to me. (Don't think I will upgrade to soon)

The point is it's not configured for upgrades so you won't be able to upgrade the GPU and that will be the first bottleneck in any gaming pc

It's not balanced at all.

Well in my opinion(and I don't know to much about pc parts) it looks like it doesn't make sens to go 3080/3090 on that MB and with that CPU.
Edit. That's what I ment by "balanced".

Balanced means that the whope system needs to be in balance to prevent bottlenecks and maximise performance. This system has bottnecks all the way through it I'm afraid. It's not a good option

He meant GPU upgrade in the future as the graphic card is the first thing that will need to be upgraded. Future GPUs will no doubt be more power hungry and generate more heat thus a case with good airflow and higher end power supply are important pieces of the build. 650W PSU you have in your build might do for now but it probably won't be sufficient to feed new generation GPUs thus longevity of your build is going to be decreased and you might potentially lose the money in the long run.

I will test it these days and see what temps it's having and test it on some benchmarks too. I don't want to disagree with you but it might be a bit of an exageration "This system has bottnecks all the way through it I'm afraid".
-PSU seems ok
- case is cheap (can be changed not really a big issue)
-cooler the same if it run's hot I can get a corsair

I know but for that CPU and MB don't think it's worth upgrading.

Just to repeat what you initially said "I don't know too much about PC parts"

We do, very well

Were trying to tell you that that system is poorly configured, it's not upgradeable and will bottleneck performance for various reasons

I'm not sure you're hearing us though.

It's your money, it's just a shame to see it wasted from just not hearing sole advise.

I won't say any more

And that's what I said from the start that I don't plan to upgrade it. And I know is lacking on case/PSU/cooling but I will change them on the future.
Thanks for the advice I apreciate it.

"And I know is lacking on case/PSU/cooling but I will change them on the future" ---------> "it's not upgradeable," i think they're trying to tell you the system isnt upgradeable.

Yes, the parts come glued on that case.

 

[DarkyDankness]

But you'll have lost money sooner, they aren't trying to make you spend more, but rather gain value for the money you do spend so that you can upgrade items one at a time, you'll need to do an overhaul all at once which will cost you alot more...

 

[sorin]

I know what they are saying and I apreciate the advice , but how to waste money on this build is 1400£ where can I get the same parts for this price? I can assamble it myself.

 

[SpyderTracks]

I'm locking this thread as OP clearly isn't looking for advice.
