Thank you for the replies. I went ahead and picked up a 43” Samsung 4K tv. I’ve played the su33 guns only mission a few times and everything looks great. Really enjoy the huge screen.

I’ve been playing on a 27” 1080 monitor and I’ve been thinking of trying out a 43” tv. The tv’s I’ve been looking at are 60hz and my monitor is 144hz. Would have any negative effect on DCS? Has anyone here gone down this path?

I'm really new to DCS. I've been flying the F15 a bit and I'd like to start learning the SU27/33 as well. I'm maxed out on HOTAS keys with the F15. would this be a problem for the SU27? Does it require more buttons to operate than the F15?

I'm not sure what the frame rate is. I've never checked. Looks great through. I'm running the preset high setting at 1080p. If I crank all the setting wayyy up passed the preset it can start to act up with brief black screen flashes. I've been very happy with the build so far.

Haha I'm learn'n! This is my first PC build. I just finished about 2-3 hours of DCS and the PSU was almost cool to the touch. I'll try to score a deal on a better PSU upcoming Chirstmas sales and get my DCS machine ready for the long haul.

I'll check out the power supply temps tonight and update. Thanks for the tip on the PSU. I might be pushing that cheaper PSU a bit close to its max.

The PSU is a Evga 600BR.

Finished my build a couple weeks ago. It's been running DCS really well so far. Hell of a learning curve with this game! My track IR goes wonky when I lay headset down at times. Other than that its been great. Ended up not sticking as close to the budget as I had planned though. Oh well. The PC is working great. Mobo: MSI Tomahawk CPU: Ryzen 2600X Ram: G Skill Flare 3200 32gb (8 x 4) its overclocked a bit to cl14 GPU: RX590 Nitro+ SSD: XPG SX8200 Pro 512GB NVMe

Thank you all for the input and advice. I've changed my plans a bit so far. MOBO: MSI Tomahawk B450 CPU: Ryzen 5 2600X GPU: Sapphire Radeon pulse RX 590 Still planning on 16gb ram. I don't plan on anything VR at this point. Some kind of IR tracking would be great though. I've got on track day left this year in the beginning of October and a little bit of work to do to the bike before then. After that I plan on diving into this. Just wanted a good plan and some advice before I jump into this. It's a hefty investment for me.

Thanks for the advice. I'll spend a little more on the MOBO and get one with more RAM slots. I'm pretty sure the M450 can only fit 2 RAM sticks. The RX 5700 is more than I'd like to spend right now, but there are some good deals on the GTX 970's.

Hey guys I'm wanting to build my first PC in hopes of getting into DCS and going from there. I already have a kinda pricey hobby with motorcycle track days so I'd to keep down where possible. Here's what I have planned so far. MOBO: MSI B450 Pro Motherboard Pro VDH CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 GPU: XFX Radeon RX 570 RS RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) SSD: Crucial BX500 240GB PSU: EVGA 500 BT Would this hardware provide a good DCS experience or does it fall short? Thanks in advance.
