YES!!!! Finally my build has hit stage 5. Hopefully it gets completed and shipped today.. That would be stellar.

This is my first PC from Digital Storm. Im not sure what to expect but have heard great things about them. I usually build my own but figured let someone else do it for me for once and see how it turns out.

Well here is my build. This is designed to specifically run one program. XPLANE 11 (flight sim)

Im building a full complete 737-800 cockpit in my house. (fixed base no motion) and running xplane for the visuals. Most of todays gamers think flight sim why do you need a super beefy machine for that? Does anyone know just how intensive CPU and GPU it is to render clouds? and then not just render but do it in realtime with real time weather? and not just that but then render the physics of said cloud based on cloud desnity and atmospheric conditions with how it interacts as the plane passes through them? ..

LOL long story short yeah its intense.

Here is the build what do you think? I opted out of GPU because I have a MSI 1070 TI card for it already

Welcome to DS. I would increase the capacity of the Storage Set 1 to at least 500GB. Windows takes a bit leaving you with almost nothing. Don't know about AMD's chip. Keep us posted.

Hello all, Well I have had my Lumos build now for about 2 weeks or so and what can I say its awesome..Going with Digital Storm for my PC was the smartest decision.

Quality is topshelf, Although, the CPU was not over clocked even thou I requested it. Im not sure how to over clock.

Other then that I wish they had a store in which I could purchase more upgrades like additional RAM etc. But I can tell you without a doubt, if you are looking at Digital Storm for a custom computer, you have definitely made the right choice. Wish I had a Digital Storm lanyard for some swag to help promote them in my office..

Get in touch with DS about your overclock. They can walk you through it over the phone.

Congrats and all the best!

There's no need to overclock that processor. Ryzen series will boost intelligently on its own. You CAN manually overclock but you would likely actually lose performance.
