Novice , New Rig for flightsimulator 2024 - thoughts please?

Featured Replies

Hello,

I am a computer dummy when it comes to hardward and fully understanding what I am supposed to be doing. I would appreciate your feedback on my choosen hardware:

 

CPU - The AMD Ryzen 9 9950X 

Ram - Hynix DDRs 32GBx4 128GB

Cooling- Noctua NH-U12A coolers

SDD - Samsung 990 pro 4TB

Power - Seasonic 1000w Focus

Nvidia- RTX4090 0r 4080 (not sure which)  

 

Thank you in advance for taking time out to peruse my rig.

 

  • CPU: for gaming /sims the 9800X3D is a much better choice. Perhaps the 9950X3D might be even better but it isn't available yet.
  • RAM: I'd advice against using all 4 slots on a high performance machine. The memory controller will be busier and performance and/or stability could drop. Also, 64GB is plenty for MSFS2024. 
  • GPU: This is a bad time to buy a new videocard. Both AMD and Nvidia are coming out with a new generation in January.

Flightsim rig:
CPU: AMD 5900x  | Mobo: MSI X570 MEG Unify | RAM: 32GB G.Skill Trident Z Neo | GPU: Gigabyte RTX 3090 | Storage: M.2 (2 & 4 TB) | PSU: Corsair RM850x | Case: Fractal Define 7 XL
Display: Acer Predator x34 3440x1440 | Speakers: Logitech Z906 
Controllers: Fulcrum One Yoke | MFG Crosswind v2 pedals | Honeycomb Bravo Quadrant |Thrustmaster TCA Quadrant | Stream Deck XL & Plus | TrackIR 5 Tobii eye tracking

Waiting for both 5090 and 9950x3d. Nice combo

I9 12900K @ 5.1ghz P-cores/ 4.0 ghz E-cores fixed HT off / Corsair iCue H150i Capellix Cooler/ MSI Z690 CARBON WiFi / 32GB Corsair DDR5 RAM @ 5200 mhz XMP on / 12GB MSI 4090 RTX Ventus 3 / 7,5 total TB SSD (2+2+2+1+0,5 all NVMe)/ PSU 850W Corsair / 27" (1080P)

Yeah, as mentioned, if you're buying it for MSFS, you want an X3D processor. You're leaving a lot of performance on the table by going any other route. 

[MSI MPG X870E Carbon | 9800X3D (PBO +200Mhz / -20 Offset) | Corsair 64GB DDR5 (Custom Timings) | RTX 4090 Founders Edition (Undervolted) | WD SNX 850X 4TB + 4TB | Antec Flux Pro]

 

I will pass on this.

 

 

Raymond Fry.
