5800x3d can't be overclocked and it's a peak 180W CPU. 360 radiator is a huge waste of money for it. Get one of the larger air coolers, will be just as quiet, more reliable and cheaper. Throw whatever money you save towards a GPU 3060ti is a big jump from a 3060.

AK400, AK620, Fuma 2 rev. B, Dark Rock 4, Shadow Rock 3, NH-12US all those can easily cool down 5800x3d and are pretty cheap.

oh thanks a lot, but will an i7-12700K or i5-12600K be better while at normal temps with air coolers?

12700K would benefit from an AIO if you overclock. But then you shouldn't be buying K series Adler Lake when Raptor Lake is coming out next week. 13700K/13600K.

Yeah I am waiting for i7-13700K with a 240/280 AIO

should I also wait for RX 7000?

and possibly Ryzen 7000

The 5800X3D is the best option for Microsoft Flight Sim. The extra L3 cache really seems to help.
