Hello everyone, Im just now getting started into the pc world and need some advice. I want to build a pc capable of playing x planes 11 on max settings at a decent frame rate but yet stay within a 900 dollar price range. i just need some ideas on what components to get that will allow me to do this! also i wou;ld be starting from scratch so a monitor and keyboard are a must as well

Start with Ryzen 5 1600 and a b350 motherboard. Check out pcpartpicker.com to make a list

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

That's not a bad SSD in any way.

If op wants a better SSD, then he can grab an 860evo or mx500.
