Noctua fan for configured PC

I was messing around with configuring an AMD build last night and saved a quote with a Noctua NH-U14S Ultra Quiet Performance CPU Cooler. I've looked again today and that cooler is now missing from the list - there's only a single Coolermaster cooler and then PCS ones.

Do components regularly get added/removed from PCS? I've had Noctua coolers recommended and don't know how a CoolerMaster Hyper 212 Black Edition compares.

Items go in and out of stock all the time, especially over the last year through lockdown as worldwide shipments have been hugely affected causing stock issues across the board.

For Ryzen though, unless it was a very entry level processor, an AIO would be far better.

But it’s more appropriate to advise on the build as a whole rather than individual components as they all inter relate.

If you're looking at the 5600X, the Hyper 212 is probably just fine. It's not a very hot chip and it's a very decent cooler. I actually use the Noctua NH-15S (the big daddy of Noctua coolers, just a little bit overkill!) and it's great.

But, as @SpyderTracks says, the key is the combination of components (for instance, the Hyper 212 in an airflow case on a 5600X would be fine, but on a 5800X in a very solid case would be problematic).

I think I'll be going for a 5600X as I've been reading that 5800X or 5900X is overkill for gaming. I'll post my build later on so people can have a look.

I've just posted the build I've been tinkering with here https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/threads/new-build-with-a-£2500-budget.82308/
