Yo!

 

I have made a few posts about deciding what computer to use, and people keep telling me to build it myself. But as always, I need you guys to see if this is good. I am planning to use this in X planr 11, probably max graphics.

So what do you guys think?

You've selected some good components. Are you building to a strict budget or is there some flexibility?

A few observations/suggestions:

You'll probably wish you had at least a 500 GB SSD as they tend to fill faster than you'd imagine.

If you go for the Thermaltake Versa N21 case you'll need to factor in a couple of decent 120mm fans for the front as I think it only comes with one rear fan. Personally, I'd go for a Phanteks Enthoo Pro M. Almost the same price but well reviewed and Phanteks build good enthusiast cases.

Many people seem to be prepared to spend a lot of money on everything except the PSU. Whilst the Corsair CX550M Bronze PSU isn't bad, it's a middle-of-the-road unit which won't give you much headroom for your system (see https://outervision.com/b/xOGgJl for an estimate of the power you'll use with just a mild overclock - around 440W). With quality components in the rest of the system, it's definitely worth investing in a good quality Gold-certified PSU. I'd go for at least a 650W PSU - something like an EVGA SuperNOVA 650 G3 (good price with a 7-year warranty).

A high-end system like this is really wasted with a 21.5" 1920x1080 monitor.

I saw the first link you posted and i started to laugh, sorry! First forget max settings in X-plane, theres no system in the market that can handle that, what its possible is some pretty high settings... quick and dirt opinion:

CPU; perfect nothing to say

Ram; Speed, perfect nothing to say; size, if you gonna use orthos 32gb is recommended

Disk; orthos again you gonna need a looooot of space, 4/5 TB is recommended

GPU; a ti in the end of that 1080 makes wonders

PSU; 550w? nop, if you do some OC... and those specs ask that, 550 are going to bottleneck you, yes, lack of power can bottleneck our system, 650W min.

Monitor, LOL please dont buy that monitor with that pc, is like buying a ferrari and not having the drivers license, go with something bigger and with a higher resolution, 1440p is the best relation cost/performance/visuals, but you can also go with 4k with those specs.
