September 22, 20223 yr I have decided that FOR ME this is the best time to abandon my old Z97 platform and invest in something much newer. I don't want to spend a lot of money (also, honestly, as long as the system guarantees 30FPS in MSFS and Prepar3D for me is enough). I'm keeping the old 1070 for now but I'm thinking of buying a 3060Ti or equivalent in the future. Oh, and I have a 1440p ultrawide but I usually use P3D in windowed mode. I imagine it will be the same in the future when (and if) I migrate to MSFS. I don't want to wait for DDR5, new platforms or new graphics cards! So I was thinking about these two systems: A Intel I5 12400 MSI PRO B660-A motherboard New aircooler (Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition) Kingston 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3600MHz FURY Renegade CL16 Black Or B AMD 5600 (non X) MSI PRO B550-A motherboad SAME aircooler from Z97 platform, the BeQuiet Dark Rock 3 Kingston 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3600MHz FURY Renegade CL16 Black What do you think? Which one should I choose? 13600KF - AIO - 32GB DDR4 - RTX4070 - UW1440p GSync - USB DAC - 2TB NVMe - Windows 11 Pro - Gladiator NXT EVO - 1 Gbps Fiber - MSFS 2024

Well if you don’t want to wait until next Tuesday for the new range of AMD CPUs I’d happily recommend the 5600. I’ve got the 58003DX and before that had the 5800X. That was my first time with AMD after years with Intel and I’m happy. Kael Oswald 9950X3D/ 64GB DDR5 6200 @ CL30 / Custom Water Loop / RTX 5090 / 3 x 48" LG C4 OLEDs

So I was thinking about these two systems: A Intel I5 12400 New aircooler (Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition) Why not 12400F instead of 12400 ? Less expensive and why pay for built in graphics when you got a dedicated video card ? Why new air cooler ? These CPU comes with a cooler.
September 25, 20223 yr Author I'll see if I can resist the noise from the stock Intel cooler. I'll also buy the 12400F, you're right 😉 Edited September 25, 20223 yr by Juliet Alpha 13600KF - AIO - 32GB DDR4 - RTX4070 - UW1440p GSync - USB DAC - 2TB NVMe - Windows 11 Pro - Gladiator NXT EVO - 1 Gbps Fiber - MSFS 2024
