Thinking about an i5-7600K or i7-7700K build on Z270 M/B dedicated to flightsims: DCS X-Plane v10 / v11 P3D v3 / v4 VR in the future Q1) Based on browsing users system specs on several flightsim forums am I right in thinking the current Kaby Lake "sweetspot" for RAM is: 16MB DDR4-3200??? Q2) Is anyone really going to need more than 16GB for current flightsims (anyone running the above sims with 8GB and no OOMs)? Q3) Would VR need more system RAM? -
Hi guys! Finally I am going to buy my first real gaming PC. It will be used for P3D but also for classic gaming replacing my Xbox. I think an i5 would be a good compromise between price and performance. So what do you think about thid build? - Intel i5 8600K 3.6Ghz Coffee Lake 1151 Processor -Msi Z370 A-PRO 1151 Motherboard -Nvidia GTX 1070 8GB. I found a good price on the ASUS Strix and on the MSI Armor. What's the better choice? -16GB DDR4 G.Skill 3200MHz Ram. -Samsung 850 EVO 500GB SSD -Noctua NH-U9S Cpu cooler -Corsair rm650i 80 Plus Gold PSU -NZXT H440 Case About the monitor I was not sure if buy a 1080p 144hz one or a 1440p 60hz one.

I'm planning to put together a new PC using some of the parts from my ageing Q9650 build. I'd like to try out all the current main sim software - X-Plane, FSX, Flightgear, DCS World and possibly Prepar3d too, flying things like iFly737 in FSX and FF757 / FF777 in X-Plane. I've also been collecting old PCs to use as slave machines in multi-display setup, and this new PC would be providing the main graphics in that setup. Below is a preliminary list of parts. I'm not in a rush to build this thing - maybe a New Year's present for myself: Blue things are from my current system. Green things I've already bought new. ? your suggestions welcome! CPU = i7-4790K (OC to 4.6GHz) Cooler = Air ? Thermal paste = MX-4 GPU = GTX780Ti 3GB MB = Z97 Asus ? RAM = 8GB DDR3-2400 kit ? or 16GB DDR3-2400 kit ? HD1 = Samsung 1TB (32MB) SATA2 HD2 = Samsung 1TB (32MB) SATA2 HD3 = Western Digital 320MB (32MB) SATA2 or Samsung 500MB (16MB) SATA2 PSU = Corsair TX850 850W or Seasonic S12G-750 750W Case = Coolermaster CM690 I'll update the parts list as I make decisions.
