May 3, 20188 yr Looks good, except I would try and find some faster RAM. Generally 3200mhz stuff as a minimum, but the likes of 4000mhz+ stuff is becoming more widespread now 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.

In which case will the D15 fit? Quote Corsair CMK32GX4M2B3000C15 Vengeance LPX 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 3000MHz Consider GSkill 3200 MHz or faster. And depends what you are doing, but 16 GB is enough. Quote Crucial MX500 CT1000MX500SSD1(Z) 1 TB Internal SSD (3D NAND, SATA, 2.5 Inch) - Xplane Drive 860 Evo I favour. Edited June 12, 20187 yr by martin-w
June 12, 20187 yr Author I swapped the d15 for a liquid cooler from corsair and machine runs well. Stephen Simpson Systems: Flight System: AMDRyzen7 7800X3D, 32GB DDR, RTX4090,Windows 11. Utilities System: I7 8700K 4.8Ghz,32GB 3000 DDR4 RAM,1x1TB SSD,Geforce GTX1080ti 11GB,Windows 11.
June 13, 20187 yr What made you go for a Micro ATX board in an ATX case Stephen? Edited June 13, 20187 yr by martin-w
