8086K upgrade

[DD_Crash]

I would like to get a new MB/CPU. Main use would be VR Il-2 and DCS. No preference intel/AMD so what would be best for single core performance (thats what Il-2 needs) for about £400 ish?

I run it at 5Ghz and I have a 3090. My motherboard is 3 years old and things have moved on. I am not having issues but I would like more performance. I have 4x8Gig 3200hz ram
PS I like building computers.

I run a Reverb G2 and I will do some more research. Il-2 seems to CPU limited, and the top benchmarks for the test are mainly Ryzens. I havnt seen anything for the 12th gen intels yet. As I say I dont need a new MB/CPU but would like a bit more performance.

I might wait until the new year and see what that will bring. Who knows, my lotto numbers might come up!

Thanks. I am looking forward to building again, so I will see what is available next year.

It seems a bit odd that in the time that has passed since it was released that CPU performance hasnt progressed much. I know Il-2 is built on quite an old engine and it is what it is.
