Could anyone help me with that please? I need to buy the PC quick... PSU, SSD and cooling is my problem... Hope anyone has an idea... Thaks, Lessi

Hey again, thanks for your reply! I think a 500 GB SSD will work for me.. I could go for the Crucial MX500 M.2 SATA-SSD or for the Samsung 970-EVO M.2 PCIe 3.0 x4 NVME SSD (both 500GB). The Samsung one is exactly 50€ above the Crucial, but I know there is a performance atvantage.. Is it worth it? Or should I buy the Crucial? The calculator of beQuiet says something about 600 Watt or so (I hope I entered the right numbers and I would appreciate if anyone could confirm, that's the case... my config is 2 post above) I don't know but I'd like to have a cooling fan instead of a water cooling... If anyone could give me a hint which to use when overclocking to up to 4.6 GHz? Would a beQuiet Pure Rock do the job as a cooler of a i5-9600K? I will definitely choose the GTX1070Ti as my GPU, the topic is outdated.. So thats where I'm stuck: CPU: Intel i5-9600K (3.7 GHz, Turbo 4.6 GHz, 6 Cores with 6 Threads) Cooling: please help!! RAM: G.Skill 16 GB (3000 MHz, 2x8GB Dual Kit) Board: MSI B360M Pro-VDH GPU: nVidia GeForce GTX 1070 Ti (8 GB) PSU: be quiet! System Power 9 (600 Watt) confirm? Housing: Kolink Horizon RGB black SSD: Crucial MX500 (SATA SSD, M.2, 500 GB) or Samsung 970-EVO (PCIe 3.0 x4 NVME SSD, M.2, 500 GB) HDD: 1000 GB ( + Assembly, Warranty 24 Months but without Cardreader this time) for 1253,90€ or 1303,90€ with the Samsung SSD Looking forward to any replies especially regarding Cooling, PSU and SSD.. Lessi

Hey there, I downgraded the system a little bit and have only some things, where I'm still not sure.. My latest idea: CPU: Intel i5-9600K (3.7 GHz, Turbo 4.6 GHz, 6 Cores with 6 Threads) RAM: G.Skill 16 GB (3000 MHz) Board: MSI B360M Pro-VDH GPU: nVidia GeForce GTX 1070 Ti (8 GB) PSU: be quiet! System Power 9 (600 Watt) Housing: Sharkoon DG7000-G Blue with Glass Window SSD: Crucial MX500 (M.2, 250 GB) HDD: 1000 GB (+ Assembly, Warranty 24 Months and with Cardreader) for 1234,00€ Do you think the system is balanced well or is bottlenecked? (especially refering to P3Dv4) Is there any component you would change without increasing the price that much? And do you think the price is fair for the system and the service (assembly, etc)? Or should I put the PC together myself? (I do not know if I could do that, because I never did it bevor and I don't have a lot of experience regarding hardware and PCs...) And another thing is the cooling fan... I do not have no idea what colling fan to choose.. I want to overclock my system to at least 4.3GHz (or even 4.6) but it seems to me like the default CPU colling fan won't do it.. I read several reports, saying that with a default cooler the CPU is likely to get too hot and it's lifetime decreases. I am wondering wether you have got a good advice for me for what cooling fan I should go for. Would you increase the Wattage of the PSU (bc of ocing) or would you leave it as it is? (Or would you even decrease it? lol) Is there anything you would change bevor buying? Would you buy the system (with the modification you suggest in your answer) if you were me? (its quite a big investion for me...) This shold be one of the final steps to the purchase of my PC, hope you can help me out, Lessi

Thanks for all your replies! I updated the system, but I'm not yet satisfied with that price... The new system looks like this: CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K RAM: G.Skill RipJaws V DDR4-3200 Board: ASUS Z370-A Prime GPU: GTX 1070 Ti PSU: Seasonic Focus Plus Gold 750W Gehäuse: Fractal Design Meshify C Dark SSD: Samsung 970 Evo M.2 NVME 500GB HDD: Western Digital Blue 1TB It shows 1.679€ (on mindfactory.de), but I planned to invest about 1200€ max (better 1100€ or even 1000€). Which components could I degrade to lower price but keep most of the performance? Hope you have some suggestions for that, Lessi

Hey volks, I need a new PC for Prepar3Dv4 and I'm not quite sure what's the best option. My maximum is 1100€ and I've already done some research and came to a system, but I wanna know your opinion.. My current idea is: CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600X RAM: G.Skill RipJaws V DDR4-3200 Board: MSI B450M Pro-VDH I don't know exactly which GPU is the best to go with P3D. Does it (still) make a difference wether to choose AMD or Intel on v4 linke in FSX?? GPU: an AMD Sapphire Vega 56 8GB OR a GTX 1070 Ti OR a RX 580 8GB PSU: be quiet! Straight Power 11 650W Housing: Fractal Design Meshify C Dark SSD: Samsung 970 Evo M.2 NVME 500GB HDD: Western Digital Blue 1TB Do you think this is a good idea for P3D or should I change to a complete different system?? And what GPU should I choose (total max. for system is 1100€)?? Hope you can help me with that, Lessi
