New CPU build for Pepar3D

Wahzy · 3 Nov 2017 at 17:24

Hello everyone.

My i5 3570k OCed at 4.4GHZ is starting to struggle these days with the latest Flightsim addons for P3D v3.4.

I am looking at CPU, Mobo and RAM bundles and my budget is around £500-£600.

Would anyone have any recommendations? Looking at perhaps the 8700K chipset but may be out of my budget?

I also already have: Corsair H100 cooling, Geforce 1070 FE graphics card.

Alex.

8700k with mobo and 16gb ddr4 is going to be Approx £670 could look at 6 the core I5.

Thanks, I can up my budget I guess!

Is anyone here able to put together a bundle or do OCUk do them?

looking at V4 recommended seems your core should be fine - you have got the option of dropping in second hand i7 to save costs .

not sure how Ryzen holds out with this sim, as if you need cores- its got cores!

whats your GPU currently - seems the sims different graphic options either effect GPU or CPU heavily
