Hello. Im looking for advice on building a flight sim computer. It’s been several years since I built the last one with a 1090ti. It will be used for flight sim, gaming, no work functions. Currently using a single 55” tv for a monitor.
Run MSFS 2020/24, X-plane and maybe DCS.
Possibly grow into either a triple monitor setup or a VR setup.
Air Manager is of interest.
OC a bit. PBO and Expo.
Would like to build as quiet and cool of a system as possible. The current one is very loud and generates a ton of heat. Enough to overheat a small bedroom.
Would like to run other apps while flight simming. Traffic, Flight Planning, Navigraph, Foreflight, Weather mods
PMDG 737 and Fenix A320 and ORBX.
No RGB.
So far, I’m leaning towards:
AMD 7950x3d
ASRock X670E Tachi EATX AM5 Motherboard or the Gygabyte X670E Aorus Master. Seems like the choice comes down to (2) 4 USB slots & (1) M.2 Gen 5 with the Tachi or No 4 USB & (2) M.2 Gen 5 with the Master.
How important is USB 4?
Do I need 2 M.2 Gen 5 sockets? Maybe an upgrade down the road. Seems the Gen 5 SSD just aren't that much faster...yet.
Asus ROG STRIX GAMING OC GeForce RTX 4090 24 GB Video Card
Samsung 990 Pro 2 TB.
G.Skill Trident Z5 NEO RGB Series (AMD Expo) 64GB (2 x 32GB) 288-Pin SDRAM DDR5 6000 CL30-40-40-96 1.40V Dual Channel Desktop Memory F5-6000J3040G32GX2-TZ5NR
Is there a faster 64gb setup? I saw there was a bios update that allows ddr5-7200.
Cooling?
CPU?
Case?
Case? Just looking for a simple closed case with good airflow.
Totally open to suggestions, modifications and thoughts. Thanks!
