Would this spec be a good investment for DCS?

[Gremlin]

Hi,

 

 

I'm considering a machine available locally with the following spec.

 

 

Motherboard : GIGABYTE GA-B450M DS3H

CPU : AMD Ryzen 7 3700X

GPU : EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 XC ULTRA GAMING 8GB GDDR6

Memory : 32GB DDR4 CORSAIR VENGEANCE LPX 2666MHz

Storage : SSD 480GB Crucial M500 + HDD 2TB HITACHI 7200rpm

 

 

Im moving up from a machine with an old xeon and a 1050ti and ssd. The old machine is a reasonable performer in general flying but goes to hell in intense missions. I was flying the blue nosed basterds P51 campaign, It was ok till the buffs turn up and drop bombs when it goes from 40 - 50 fps to almost 0 fps. I'm hoping the new spec will allow me to fly more intense missions without it turning into a slideshow. I'm also thinking of VR next year so I'm hoping the new machine would be up to that.

 

 

Are these resonable expectations for that spec?

Thanks in advance for opinions.

Dave.

I'd get faster RAM,at least 3200 up to 3600 but not faster. Low Latwency like CL14 will also help.

 

With 2666 you really cripple this CPU in gaming
