Requirement:
# 1440p single display
# DCS 2.5
# X-Plane11
Considering the following build although I might wait for prices of the 2600X and X470 boards to come down a bit (... as for RAM - we live in hope!):
# CPU Ryzen 5 2600X (not planning to OC since gains seem marginal)
# M/B Asus Prime X470-Pro
# RAM Corsair LPX 32GB (2X16) DDR4-3200
# GPU GTX1070 under £400 or GTX1080 under £500 ???
# Display 27" 60Hz or 32" LED TV ???
# SSD Samsung 860 Evo 500GB (OS + sims)
# PSU Corsair RM750x or reuse 6+ yo 850W PSU ???
# Case reuse Cooler Master CM690II ???
All thoughts on this welcome, particularly interested in getting the right GPU for this build. Space limitations mean multi-monitor probably a no no, waiting for next gen VR.
