Keyboard, mouse, monitor needed, mouse mat also. Plus for FS you'll need yoke, pedals, throttle.

Read up on different keyboard sizes, key switches and keycaps haha

Im using my lg cx, have a mouse and velocity one flight stick, just need a keyboard.

Im going for the laid back sofa approach, where no mouse mat is needed, actually I use cheap mouse with my xbox perfectly fine on any flat surface.

As I said this is replacing my xbox, so its going in a large tv cabinet compartment, I will open the back up and its open at the front, its very roomy, I think its called an IKEA Besta, but I got the version with the larger compartments.

Not every mechanical switch is a Cherry! Check out some of these excellent alternatives to scratch your incredibly-specific itch.

I went with brown, they're replaceable - one went faulty recently so instead of having faulty key just changed the faulty switched. Pretty cool.

Or I could change some keys to softer/harder, clicky etc, ie arrows could work well with clicky to get that immediate and audible feedback.

got a corsair k70 pro with cherry red linear...like it as usb lead is detachable so can just get a longer lead if further away from pc
did um and err about getting the asus strix II scope 96 wireless keyboard, with snow switches...meant to be very good, but was unsure about non full size as use for work also...would suit the sofa lounger though

With the ryzen 9800x3d and Phanteks XT pro ultra case in mind what motherboard should I go for?

Need something with good WiFi as that’s all I can use currently, don’t want to spend anymore than £200 on a motherboard though really.

I can only get 5ghz via my pro 6 eero I believe until I eventually upgrade them, but I might as well go for a motherboard with 6e, it’s reading some reviews of some of the cards mentioned in here saying WiFi is not great, but I guess that could be other factors to that.

Would the Msi b650 mag tomahawk be a good choice for the phanteks xt pro ultra case?

I will post an updated basket next year before I buy anything.

That case fits motherboards upto atx in size so yes it's a good choice.

Another slightly cheaper option with WiFi 6E is the

Asus TUF Gaming B650-E WIFI and the MSI B650 GAMING PLUS WIFI Motherboard check specifications to compare features.​

I did read that cards with the intel ax210 WiFi module are very good, but unsure what cards have that and what the cost would be.

Not much info on what type of WiFi module on th tuf motherboard website so a but an email could tell you.

A quick Google the intel ax210 WiFi module is £30 so you could get changed it or add a pcie WiFi card if your unlucky but you may be better with WiFi extender.
