Flight Sim Build

Posted by ZealousidealStay4381@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 0 comments

Looking at building my first PC, mainly focused on playing flight sim & other games I can’t get on console. I may shift to PC gaming but I like console gaming for ease/convenience. The PC won’t really be an RGB showcase either.

After researching, I’ve come to a rough build idea listed below. Would appreciate feedback on what I could change for better or if there’s more affordable options just as good or very close in comparison as building a pc now with the prices is a bad time 😅 I’d like the PC to last a fair few years given the specs I’ve listed and costs associated with the build.

CPU:
7800X3D or 9800X3D - they fluctuate in price and sometimes come close, say within $80 AUD of each other.

CPU Cooler:
AIO: Lian Li Galahad 2 or ARCTIC 3 Pro or NZXT Kraken
OR
Air cool: Be Quiet! Dark Rock 4/5/Pro or Noctua NH-D15

With Mobo:
B650 MSI MAG Tomahawk (unopened, can buy new from a friend bundled with a PSU mentioned below)
OR
B850 Gigabtye AORUS Elite
OR
X870 - Gigabyte Eagle or MSI MAG Tomahawk

PSU:
Corsair SF1000L 80+ Gold (unopened, bundled with B650 from a friend)

5080 GPU:
Gigabyte Gaming OC
Gigabyte Aero OC
Gigabyte Windforce OC

32GB RAM CL30 6000MHz:
All brands seem to be a similar price give or take $100 AUD. Any suggestions?

SSD:
9100 Pro (cheapest) or 990 Pro or SN850X

Case:
TBD, depending on the parts depends on the case. I like the Fractal North & Lian Li 217 - wood panel vibe.

Appreciate the feedback!
