My first build plan

[thomaswilk]

Hi there!

 

I have done quite a lot of planning and it would be nice to have some feedback on any improvements or suggestions for my build. 

 

It would be used for Flight Simulation, which pushes GPU and Mostly CPU utilisation very high. PC would run for several hours at a time every day. I’m more concerned about performance than noise. Would be running at a room temp of ~21-24c

Case - MSI Gungnir 110R (I can’t change this, but I know about the bad airflow)

Motherboard - either ASUS ROG Strix Z690-E Gaming WiFi or MSI Z690 Carbon WiFi

CPU - i7-13700K (would like to OC a bit if AIO allows)

Cooler - DeepCool LS720 (360mm front mounted)

RAM - DDR5 32GB Kingston Fury Beast 5600 CL36 

GPU - Possibly RTX 4070 (non-Ti)

Storage - 256GB M.2, 1TB SSD, 2TB HDD

PSU - 850W Gold

 

Thank you in advance for your responses and have a great day

And why is that? You bought it already have you?

Id say you should consolidate the budget for this elaborate sets of storage to 2TB M.2 nvme SSD. Itll come out cheaper, and partitioning an SSD is a fine behavior if thats a concern.

 

Also as usual, budget and location of purchase would be very nice to know.

This build is without the GPU and I made a change or two with the storage and RAM but for the GPU I think you should go with a 3090 because flight simulator uses a lot of VRAM as seen in the pic below

So for this I would recommend getting a used 3090 because prices have gotten much better such as this one (btw shipping price is so high because I'm in Europe and these are in the US) - 

Or this one

Thank you for suggesting second have cards, not sure how I didn’t think of that.

Ye don’t sweat it. I made some mistakes on my first build like picking a mobo with terrible power delivery

How can you tell if it has bad power delivery?

Check how many power phases it has, more is better, better chipsets are normally better for a higher end build on intel for overclocking but on AMD it's not necessary to get an X chipset since even B boards have the full feature set apart from maybe super high RAM speeds. Also don't go for super budget boards like this one. They normally look ok on the surface but in reality can't deliver (both in performance and power) I used a board like this with my 10100f and it couldn't break the 45W power to get to its 65W power target because of its power delivery and VRMs. If you want to learn more about motherboards and how their performance gets affected, its a bit old but theres an LTT vid linked down below
