Do you definitely want an mATX board? Will look quite tiny in a mid tower case,

Is there a reason you've gone for the asrock riptide?

Tbh your list of parts is very good can't really recommend much as an alternative.

No I was looking at this prebuilt https://www.overclockers.co.uk/ocuk...-geforce-rtx-4060-ti-gaming-pc-fs-1f6-og.html

But someone came up with this as it was much better than the prebuilt.

 

[cplnobbie]

Are your going to be able to build this ?

I think i could probably do it as i have done upgrades on my current rig ie: cards chips and memory, been saving for a year

That's still a capable 1080p gaming pc.

There's nothing wrong with the parts above apart from the motherboard being matx which @sx_turbo pointed out.

What's wrong with the motherboard please as i would not no sorry.

 

[cplnobbie]

I'd bump that a notch to 850W or 1000W: you never know how much power the next generation of GPUs will demand.

ok that makes sense so I'd need to look for something else thank you

asrock was recommended when they came up with a build, would something else be better then?

 

[cplnobbie]

No it's fine, just mATX is a small form factor motherboard.

It might look a little lost inside a large case, and it won't have as many upgrade slots.

The Asus b650 plus would be a good alternative option

oh cool upgrade slots would work better I'd say to future proof.

Is It this one please

Ok great thank you.

 

[cplnobbie]

Forgot to say going from what i have been told to get i can't seem to find what i think are the right items like the cooler, I must be mssing something, also maybe change the case to something not as big If my motherboard is so small.

This I what i have got in basket so far.

Personally, for flight sim, I'd go nvidia. Flight sim isn't a fast game and the 4000 series frame gen and dlss work exceptionally well with it...you'll get a massive bump in fps and smooth gameplay. There's not that much difference in price or perfomance with e 7900gre or a 4070super...and 100% go with the 7800x3d for vcache, which also flight sim loves
Side note, the rm850x shift psu is on offer at the mo for £130 which is only £5 more than the rm850e, and is a better psu(warranty goes up to 10yrs from 7yrs also as a bonus)...the connections are on the side of the psu rather than the back(which make it easy for plugging in/unplugging cables etc)...i checked and it is compatible with the case also

Hi Craig which 4070 super as there are so many i'm a little confused please.

Is it also worth me going 2tb or stick with 1tb

 

[cplnobbie]

Seeing as they all perform fairly similarly, I just look for the cheapest that I'm happy with...for a two fan card, I'd just go for the fe version(though the super is out of stock at mo) or something like the below with the zotac, which has a 5yrs warranty///the asus duo evo cheaper than the one you put in is you're set on Asus...If going over £600, I prefer a triple fan...might look a bit nicer in the h5 flow case also (I mean that case is there to show off your system, and 3 fans running at loewer rpm should have same cooling as 2 at a higher rpm, so in theory should run quieter...though the asus is a quiet 2 fan card to be fair), but really comes down to your own preference really...don't know much about gainward cards either, as you can get one for £539.99 also
Nvidia lock the cards down so much there's only a few fps difference beteen the cheapest and most expensive

My basket at OcUK:

• 1 x Zotac GeForce RTX 4070 Super Twin Edge 12Gb Graphics Card (SKU: GRA-ZTC-01499) = £548.99
• 1 x Asus GeForce RTX 4070 SUPER Dual EVO 12GB GDDR6X PCI-Express Graphics Card (SKU: GRA-ASU-02141) = £599.99
• 1 x Zotac GeForce RTX 4070 Super Trinity Black 12Gb Graphics Card (SKU: GRA-ZTC-01500) = £619.99

Total: £2,396.95 (includes delivery: £7.99)​

Thanks for your help I'll have a look at these may mean i may have to save for another 2 months as i can only put £50 away a month sadly.

What do you think please.

 

[cplnobbie]

I was under impression OP was always going for the h5 flow case? or have things changed?, so changed from a mATX board to the b650 tuf gaming wifi board to fill out the case a bit more...why 48gb ram?..it's slow and flight sim doesn't come anywhere near needing 32gb (don't think I've used 16gb for the game myself), so I'd stick with 6000c30 ram myself...cheaper too

I was still looking at the H5 case for this build Craig,48gb ram which I never knew you could even get i thought 32gb would be ok to run all the extras plus any other game i might play in the future, my current old pc has 16gb which was an upgrade from 8gb

 

[cplnobbie]

how much do you have now? it's worth following ocuk prices and weekly sales, to pick up something cheaper in the meantime, like if a gpu comes on sale

£1400 saved over 2 years so If i need to hang on i will as a month or two wont make much differance, also bearing in mind i need everything except op system which i hope to pick up elsewhere.

 

[cplnobbie]

she was a minger anyway,good riddance helen!

oh what did i miss lol ?

 

[cplnobbie]

just saw this on someone else's build and looks pretty good, but i would want to change out the case for a white one

If you have to save up for another couple of months you would be crazy to buy a Ryzen 7000 series when the new and improved 9000 series will be so close. Your current pc will handle 1080p so I would be waiting for the new cpu's and motherboards.

Thanks for the reply, My old pc Is not playing up Ie: not always being able to turn it off, starting to happen more and more, when would the new 9000 series come out then and i take It would be quite abit higher in price? Thanks Anthony
