New system

[Gandalf 45]

Hi All

Just wanted some with more knowledge than me to have a quick look at the following specs for a new computer 

Processor (CPU)Intel® Core™ i7 Eight Core Processor i7-9700K (3.6GHz) 12MB cache
 Motherboard Gigabyte Z390 AORUS Master: ATX, LG1151, USB 3.1, SATA 6GBs WIFI – RGB ready Memory(RAM)16GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 3200MHz (2 x 8GB)
Graphics Card 8GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 2080 - HDMI, 3x DP GeForce - RTX VR Ready
1st Storage Drive 2TB Samsung 860 QVO 2.5" SSD, SATA 6Gb/s (up to 550MB/sR | 520MB/sW)
 M.2 SSD Drive1TB INTEL® 760p M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD (up to 3230MB/sR | 1625MB/sW)
Power Supply CORSAIR 650W VS SERIES™ VS-650 POWER SUPPLY
 Processor CoolingNoctua NH-U14S Ultra Quiet Performance CPU Cooler 

Would a system based on this run P3d well? I currently tend not to use too much add-on scenery as my current set up doesn’t handle it particularly well when using complex aircraft.

Looking forward to all the replies

Regards

I'm getting something similar to yours. Main difference is i went for the 9900k as it was only a little over $100 Cdn more and I also chose a slightly larger power supply. Future proofing as much as possible.

P3d on your machine will run great.

Have just finished my new build, same mobo (great one) but an I9-9900KF (not the K but KF) 🙂 running 5.0 ghz (all cores) at 1.27v and uncore of 4.7ghz

With several M2 drives and one SSD a RTX 2080 MSI Trio (2560x1440 2k display) corsair RM850W corsair 32gb ddr4-3200 memory and a X62 AIO

Great step up from my I7-6700K 😉

Hi All

Thanks for the replies, out of interest how much ram is recommended?

At least 16 GB 😉

[Gandalf 45]

So 32gb ideally then... 😁

32gb isn't used at this point in P3D (16GB for P3D is at this point more then enough), but to be future proof 😉

If you use more flightsimulators, for example XP then 32GB would be a valid decision 😉

Thanks for the replies  🙂

Looks like I’ll be going for the the system above with addition of the extra ram 😁

Thanks for the help

I think that is a good choice for a new system.  I bet you'll be pretty happy!
