I’m putting together a budget PC for my grandparents, aiming for around $500 to $600. We’re considering using a 5600G processor. Given the price range and the target user, should I even think about water cooling this build?

Honestly, trying to water cool a 5600G in a $500 build is a quick way to waste your money. Stick to a basic air cooler; it’s simpler, effective, and your grandparents will appreciate it more than fancy cooling that they won’t even understand!
Hey, I’m 13 and building my first PC too! I think water cooling is mostly for serious enthusiasts. For a simple family PC, an air cooler will do just fine. No need to complicate things right now!
Definitely skip the water cooling! For a build like this, especially at that budget, it just doesn’t make sense. Air coolers are more than enough, cheaper, and they’ll last longer. Plus, your grandparents probably don’t need the extra fuss of water cooling!
I totally get that, but water cooling just sounds fun, you know?

Yeah, I’ve seen too many people go crazy with cooling. I’m thinking I’ll stick with air.
