make sure you use the quote button so that we can see your responses. If you want to enable the XMP profile, then change ram settings, you can do it in the BIOS. If you want to make a custom XMP profile, that's going to take a lot more work

A 5800X certainly has a place in modern games, more performance in certain titles that will leverage more cores. Want to play the majority of the latest and greatest AAA titles at high settings, with great framerates? Want to pair your CPU with a very high end GPU like a 3080 ti? Then go for it. But if saving $100 or more is meaningful to you, and you would settle for great performance instead of amazing performance, then the 5600X should be considered.

You should be able to crank a pretty serious overclock on a 6 core Ryzen processor, especially because they're not particularly demanding.

XD that's so random lol! Do it. Right now.

I don't know about "extreme" territory but it should be able to handle a reasonable OC.

sounds like a thermal problem in general then. Is this an old laptop? If it is, fresh paste might help. If you don't mind more noise, faster fan speeds might help

I can't speak directly on TR4 but the servers at my job use dual epyc with 1TB micron 2933. Edit: I guess it's irrelevant. Forgot about ram limits on other platforms lol

The CPU is probably working a lot harder because the SSD can handle a lot more data. Though I can't say I've seen a laptop thermal throttle just by handling files before so you might have a separate issue. What are temps like while gaming?

Yeah, some games just won't stay stable, especially games that have a console and PC version. GTA V, for example, will have some performance issues despite how good my rig is.

Yeah, you wouldn't expect perfect performance in all games, but if MSFS is the only bad performance you might need to wait for a patch or a driver update to improve stability

I recommend Z590 instead of Z490 for guaranteed compatibility https://be.pcpartpicker.com/product/q6XJ7P/asus-rog-strix-z590-e-gaming-wifi-atx-lga1200-motherboard-rog-strix-z590-e-gaming-wifi And consider the AMD alternative, more faster cores https://be.pcpartpicker.com/list/QBnjp2

Swap the i5 for an i7, and cut the cooler (the i7 and i9 non-K models come with a decent cooler compared to Intel's normal stock cooler) and get a bit better of a PSU, as well as fast NVMe storage. Your ram is also a bit flashy.

I can't speak on why a site would offer a 64bit version but you only get a 32 bit version, but there is a certain efficiency in using a 32 bit program. Less overhead.

You could opt for the Ryzen 5 5600X if you are able to get one in stock, but otherwise this setup will get you what you need PCPartPicker Part List: https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/JMHRcT CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.6 GHz 6-Core Processor ($295.00 @ Austin Computers) Motherboard: MSI B450 Gaming Plus MAX ATX AM4 Motherboard ($132.20 @ Device Deal) Memory: Silicon Power 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3600 CL18 Memory ($125.00 @ Umart) Storage: Crucial P1 500 GB M.2-2280 NVME Solid State Drive ($62.78 @ JW Computers) Video Card: EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 12 GB XC

I don't know what camera you are talking about (you didn't bother to tell us) but if the manual says that the camera can't charge via USB, then you do need to buy a charger for it to work.
