I'm planning to buy a lightly used AMD 7800X3D for around 400 SGD (about 310 USD). The seller is also offering a brand new Peerless Assassin 120 SE CPU cooler for an extra 35 SGD (around 30 USD). I mainly play League of Legends, so I know the CPU is somewhat overkill, but I'm drawn to the large L3 cache and the AM5 support. I'm having trouble finding a dual tower CPU cooler at this price. Given that I'll be playing a game that doesn't push too much power, should I consider a different cooler instead? Is 435 SGD (approximately 340 USD) a fair price for both components?

Honestly, I'd say just buy both! The cooler is great at that price point. You're getting a good deal, and it's always nice to have reliable cooling, especially when you're investing in a CPU that's overkill for your gaming.
The Peerless Assassin 120 SE is a solid option for air coolers and will handle your 7800X3D without breaking a sweat. It's known for great price-to-performance value; no one really competes with Thermalright in this range. So, it seems like a smart choice especially if you don't need extreme cooling for just playing League of Legends.
If the price for air coolers around you is higher, it’s likely worth grabbing the Peerless Assassin. Used air coolers are generally safe bets; just ensure you get all the necessary parts if the box has been opened. For that price, it’s hard to pass up.
