BitMaster Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Not sure, but that SSD is non-NVMe. I'd get a NVMe protocol based M2 drive, not Sata based. The PSU is a bit weak, i would not go below 750, better 850w if I was you. Seasonic Prime is a good pick. I would personally not get a FD AIO but one from Corsair, like H100/105/110 whatever fits the tower, 140er prefered over 120er size.

pete_auau Posted July 11, 2018 Author Share Posted July 11, 2018 (edited) ok thx so how does this look if i replace with these samsung 970 evo 500 gb nvme ssd corsair rm 850 power supply corsair h100iv2 cpu cooler late change to this G.Skill Trident Z RGB F4-3200C16D-16GTZR 16GB (2x8GB) 3200MHz DDR4 Edited July 11, 2018 by pete_auau Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElementLT Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 I have a similar setup as you - minus the RPG. I care less about RPG, just bring on the power. you will be happy with this setup. I would maybe recommend getting 32gb of ram if possible. I fly in VR 99% of the time getting a solid 45fps on the ground and 90 up high. Coming Soon...

BitMaster Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 Samsung 970Evo nvme is an excellent choice, 500GB is enough for OS + DCS. Just when you want to install the Beta as well and also own a few maps this could get tight. You can then savely install a 2nd NVMe SSD on that board in addition to the one you already have. So there is no urgent need to get a 1TB drive or 256 + 512 to save some bucks etc.. I am not sure about the Corsair PSU, Demon might now much better than I do about all those variants. What I do know is that I would get a Seasonic Prime Titanium and nothing else, really, NOTHING else. You cant beat the quality and the price is fair for what you get. better pricing than Corsair btw, and most of their top tier's are made by Seasonic, for Corsair, and many others too. Get the real deal ! Cooler, yes. H100i V2 is nice. There are imho good reviews about the PSU and AIO at hardocp.com It's worth reading the PSU reviews and the AIO graphs are better than 1000 words when you need data to decide. Let me link the reviews for you: PSU: https://www.hardocp.com/reviews/psu_power_supplies/ AIO: https://www.hardocp.com/reviews/cooling/1/corsair/ with he AIO reviews, you got to check the pages in the reviews to see comparison charts. The kraken 52 and 62 (?) were good performers too but quality issues almost only leave Corsair left for AIO's. Ya, 32GB. I didnt see that glitch. if you build fat like this, go thritytwo, dont even think sixteen anymore. Rather 32GB now and only 1 NVMe-500GB than 1TB SSD and 16Gigs. A SSD is easier to add in any format than even the best matching RAM you can find 2 month later, heck..2 weeks later.

Demon_ Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Lol, Corsair battling EVGA for first place in U.S. sales. The EVGA G1 made by FSP is good... (12v 3.3v stability is average, 5v ripple suppression could be better, they use CapXon capacitors (Tier 3) instead of Chemicon (Tier 1)) http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=442 You can find better: A Super Flower Leadex Gold, a Seasonic S12 or M12, etc. Get a 750w (Tier 1) or 850w (Tier 1 or 2 or 2b) https://www.thetechgame.com/Archives/t=5613293/power-supply-guide-the-good-and-the-bad.html Attache ta tuque avec d'la broche.

Kayos Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 (edited) I'd wait a month or 2 to buy a GTX. When the 1180's come out the price will drop on the 1080 TI's and then buy it. I'd maybe double the RAM if you can afford it and get an extra 500GB SSD. Edited July 12, 2018 by Kayos [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demon_ Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 The Corsair RM (very quiet) made by CWT is very good, but -The fan engage to late. -They use Taicon (Tier 2):chair: and Ltec (Tier 4):pain: capacitors in the secondary side. The "other side" of a "lower price". -PCB board, soldering quality isn't the best. https://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Corsair/RM850/ http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story6&reid=369 The RM850x V2 is better: https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/corsair-rm850x-v2-psu,5568-12.html Attache ta tuque avec d'la broche.

David OC Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 (edited) I would also look at MSY if your near one?
