May 27, 20188 yr Hi, I’m new. I’d want to build a new P3d pc. I’m running it on a laptop but I don’t get nice results with the pmdg 777. My ideal pc would be this: I7-8700k Asus Z370 F Gtx 1080ti 32gb ram at 3200mhz corsair hydro 150i pro Corsair Rm1000x 970pro 512 gb for os 1 tb 860 evo for P3d 500gb 860 evo for other games and apps. Acer 27 g-sync 144hz What did you think about it? In the future I also want to build a 777 home cockpit. Edited May 27, 20188 yr by Guest

But I'm with Burt on this, there is always the option of waiting for the next best thing, which is a never ending scenario. And if we're honest, the next platform won't offer huge improvements in performance. Performance increase platform to platform has been incremental, not mind-blowing. My attitude is if a new platform is just around the corner, a month or two, then I would wait, anything longer and I wouldn't. Cannon Lake is not going to be around till 2019 so I heard. So up to you on that, you may be happy with what you have for now, not desperate, on the other hand you may be fed up with lack of performance and highly motivated to upgrade. Your choices look pretty sound though, but you could save money by specifying 16 GB Ram instead of 32. 32 isn't really required. In addition, you don't need a 1000 watt PSU. 750 watt would be more than ample.

May 29, 20188 yr Last thought.. of you want to trim your budget further, consider a GTX 1070. I love mine.. Edited May 29, 20188 yr by Bert Pieke Bert

May 31, 20188 yr Should add... looks like Intel might be about to release their first 5 GHz CPU, if the rumours are correct. Rumoured to be this year.
