February 11, 20179 yr Hi Guys: Trying to update my computer. I have no idea what I'm doing except what I've tried to find here at AVSIM. So, what do you think? Anything under/over kill? Will this run 4K curved monitor or TV? Thanks much!

February 11, 20179 yr Will be fine. 64GB RAM? What for? I mean it's your money - but I'd say even 32GB is totally overkill for even 64bit XP11 if you happen to use that. If all you do is P3D, 16GB at the max. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
February 12, 20179 yr Author Thanks for your help! I will heed your advice. I want to install both FXSE and P3D, that's why I want two storage sets and figured I needed the 64. A.

February 12, 20179 yr P3D and FSX will only use 4 GB ram each... but including all apps you may run you could easily see 8GB used. I'd still go with 16 gb 2x8GB total | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
February 12, 20179 yr Looks solid, as Ryan says, 16gb RAM is more than enough, however try and swap what's there for 3200mhz+ stuff P3D v4.5 MSFS2020 Hisense 50" 4K TV Ryzen 9600x 64gb DDR5 6000mhz, Asrock B650m HDV/M.2 Gigabyte 16gb 9070XT, Thermalright Aqua Elite 240mm 2TB NVMe Boot/FS2020 Drive, 2TB NVMe P3D Drive.

February 13, 20179 yr I agree with Ryan re the RAM. Re the CPU cooler, doesn't seem to be any reviews on the internet, so a bit of an unknown quantity for me. A 240 rad though so perhaps promising.
February 17, 20179 yr Author Fantastic. Thanks again! A.

February 18, 20179 yr Thanks for your help! I will heed your advice. I want to install both FXSE and P3D, that's why I want two storage sets and figured I needed the 64. You appear to be confusing RAM with storage. As others have noted, 16GB of RAM is plenty for FSX/P3D, and regardless of how much, 2666MHz is skunky slow. See if there's an option for 16GB of either 3200 MHz@CAS 15 or 3600 MHz@CAS 16 RAM instead.
