thanks for the case suggestion. Will research it further. I've heard of EUTW, but have not played it. Going with Win10 because of the driver and binary support... ;) Otherwise, I'd stick with Win8.1. (yep, it's been a great O/S for me). I'm flipping a coin... i7-9700k or i9-9900k. the later being about $80 more...

Hola group, I've been running my current rig for the last 5 years, (specs are in the sig). Kinda getting the bug to upgrade. Would appreciate feedback regarding a proposed gamer BOM. What I thought of buying new: i7-9700k Noctua NH-D15 CPU cooler Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Ultra MB 32GB (2x16) DDR4 RAM (curious to hear a recommendation) 500GB NVMe M.2 SSD (Samsung?) Seasonic Prime Ultra 750W titanium Power Supply Win 10 Pro... Computer case (hunting around for this as well) I plan to reuse these for a bit: GTX 1080 (until a later date) Soundblaster Z sound card Oculus Rift CV1 (to be replaced at a later date as well) Would appreciate some feedback and guidance. TIA, -Jav ps. the rig will be dedicated to DCS, ArmA3, the other flight sim, and anything VR.... :-)

No pressure buddy, honest! You're a guy focused on QA! All for that. Thanks again for all your efforts. We'll wait until you bless things, so no worries. :thumbup:

"Bring us some fresh wine... Something from this year!..." Love that movie

Thanks for preparing and sharing! I've been thinking about a 2080Ti, (to replace my 1080).

I'll hunt you down over at Thingiverse! I'm using a Creality CR-10S, with tons of mods to it. :) Plus, I love using Octoprint on my Raspberry Pi, to help manage things. Great work there M8!

Indeed! Stellar outfit!

Nice one Vampire.

I figured it was the old Chuck Norris thingy for him... "I'm a bad @ss, step aside chump...." Now Chuck being able to fly it is one thing! ;):thumbup:

same here, I'm kinda deciding on going with the 425.31...

Bam! yes! ;):thumbup:

+1 :thumbup:

Woot! Nice! :thumbup:

Hedge your bets there buddy? ;):thumbup:

Indeed! Great news. :thumbup:

thanks Wags! appreciate the Rift S feedback, and the VR update!

maybe placebo... but from my butt metrics, I've also noticed it seemed better with beta 1.37. Like Don, I do run with ASW off. I'm using a GTX1080...

Cool beans Wags! If you want to do a dry run, here at home in Phoenix, let me know. I can clear the calendar, and provide some real time feedback. :-)

But that "Ah-nold" was able to jump in it and fly?? ;):megalol:

30 seconds over Tokyo, (great flick as well). RIP to him.

Congrats buddy!

As of right now, the Reverb is on my list too. But I presume I'll have to pull the trigger on a 2080Ti, I don't think my GTX1080 will do it justice. But at this point, I'll observe what others start to report back with their Reverb's and performance.

subscribing! very nice.

learned something new! thanks Maverick!:thumbup:

I thought I saw somewhere you're upgrading your GPU. Cool! :thumbup: But still, running the CV1, you sold out to "da man!" You kissed the ring... :lol:;) Live long and prosper brother. ;)
