new system

What resolution monitor will this computer be using?

?

Originally posted by JamesAstro I'm not too familiar with MSFS, and the kind of hardware that it requires. Hopefully some of the other experts here will chime in.

ok yea and digital storm only offers standard fans and not sure how much is good to spend on each componenet

Originally posted by JamesAstro Well, let's start with the GPU. This web site shows performance numbers for MSFS running in ultra quality at 1440p on various GPUs. https://www.gpucheck.com/game/microsoft-flight-simulator Here are the top results: RTX 4090: 93 RTX 4080 TI: 86 RX 7900 XTX: 81 RTX 4080: 80 RTX 4070 Ti: 77 RX 7900 XT: 74 RTX 3090 Ti: 68 I would say pick your acceptable framerate, and use that as a guide for picking your GPU. Then once you select the GPU, move onto other components. I know...there are so many details to consider.

im thinking this and unsure about how quiet system will be or how cooling willbe

how about amd 7800x especially for msfs paired with 4080 instead

IDK what hoserator is looking at, but you've done okay with your design considering you don't know the parts. Ive made just very few substantive changes, but they're what you want.

First, we save a teeny bit of cash. Second, the CPU is a bit overkill, but MSFS is a very demanding program, so I'll stick with the 13700KF. The mobo is just fine. You will never use 64GB of RAM in the lifetime of this system, so 32GB is good. this rig may pull as many as 700W, so let's go with the 1000W PSU.

For storage, I highly recommend the 500GB Samsung 980 PRO as your primary drive. More than twice as fast as the one you picked, It's plenty big enough to hold the OS, apps, maintenance software your need, and your MSFS. A bit more as well. Smaller size means easier scanning, and back-ups. More time for gaming.

For quiet and superbly efficient cooling, the Noctua is the choice. It performs as well as the AIO liquid coolers, and will outlast them and never leak. If it ever breaks down, you replace a fan.

The Velox is dollar for dollar the best airflow case here. Runs quiet, especially with the Noctua on the CPU. I think this is the system you want.
