My last PC build was in 2012, so it was time to pull the trigger on a new one. FS2020 runs ok on it but not as well as I'd like. So upgrade we go.
Went with this:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TntZz7
AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 3.6 GHz 8-Core Processor
Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML360R RGB 66.7 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
Asus PRIME X570-PRO ATX AM4 Motherboard
Corsair Vengeance RGB Pro 64 GB (4 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory
Western Digital Black 4 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Samsung 970 Evo Plus 1 TB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive
Thermaltake View 71 TG RGB ATX Full Tower Case
EVGA SuperNOVA GA
850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply
1) Went full tower. Wouldn't do that again, MAN is that fucking thing HUGE.
2) Video card I pulled out of my current rig, it will work until I can walk into microcenter and get a 3070 off the shelf instead of trying to get lucky and finding bare shelves. Its a 1660ti. I currently run 3 27" 1440p monitors which will get upgraded with the card.
3) I forgot how fun it is to build a PC. Almost want to take it back apart just so I can do it again.
4) Did I mention this fucking case is MASSIVE?
8=====D) Airforceproud95 is a good follow on YT. Funny stuff, even from the FSX days.
C) Curious why you went with intel, Druff. Like, genuinely. Miss me with the fanboy wearing an intel tshirt shit, just give me your reasons
d) C'mon druff I'm a god damn mechanic and I build my own PC. YOU ARE A FUCKING COMPUTER SCIENTIST. ACT LIKE ONE. You can't give us a 60 paragraph rant on trying to fix stereo mix and then turn around 2 weeks later and pretend you can't seat a CPU in a socket and plug in some cards and shit. You just can't.
7) Who's running a full-on yoke/rudder/throttle quadrant setup? Need advice/opinions.
