June 18, 20232 yr Jetline Systems are a little pricey, but they do have a very good reputation for high quality builds that are tailored to flight sim users.

June 28, 20232 yr I know everyone frowns on Dell Alienware. I think they upped their game with the current iteration of their Alienware line. Their R15 13900KF/4090 was going for $3,200, with free shipping, at one of their rare and unusual sales event a few months ago that I contemplated on purchasing. Dell didn't announce the sale on their website, rather it was through a tech website that had a link to getting the discount. I was undecided between building versus a turn key solution as I didn't want the hassle of building one myself again, being that I am not getting any younger. When I decided to purchase the Dell the promotion was over. The thing about ordering PC parts is that not one website will have all the components you want. I had to source them through various vendors and pay shipping as well, I'm outside the CONUS. I used a tracking app to monitor deliveries so taking time off early from work, so I could rush home to retrieve the parcels before thieves get them, was challenging at best. So I ordered the individual parts and built my PC but I'm of the opposite situation where building my own PC actually costs more. But, I got better quality and faster memory, motherboard, M.2 SSD.s, Power Supply, Case, and Fans. Was it worth it is subjective. I think I would've gotten the same performance in stock configuration between the two. Maybe next time I will give it a go and get a pre-built when it's time to upgrade. Am I happy with my build? absolutely! fly safe Edited June 28, 20232 yr by mokeiko Francisco Blas Windows 11 Pro | X-Plane 12 | ASUS Hero Z790 | Intel i9-13900K | G.SKILL 64GB DDR5 | ASUS STRIX 4090 | WD 4TB SN850X NVMe | ASUS Ryujin II AIO 360mm | Corsair AX1600i | Lian Li 011D EVO | DELL Alienware 38 G-SYNC

I thought the same but I understand and see where individual circumstances may come into play. Maybe some are in a better situation to just pay someone else to have it built, and get what they want. Sometimes convenience is priceless to some, others not. fly safe Francisco Blas Windows 11 Pro | X-Plane 12 | ASUS Hero Z790 | Intel i9-13900K | G.SKILL 64GB DDR5 | ASUS STRIX 4090 | WD 4TB SN850X NVMe | ASUS Ryujin II AIO 360mm | Corsair AX1600i | Lian Li 011D EVO | DELL Alienware 38 G-SYNC
