Ged33 Posted November 20, 2021 Author Posted November 20, 2021 Thanks good idea im not interested in RGB anyway. I have ordered these ones probably wasted on me but there you go https://www.gskill.com/product/165/184/1620974215/F4-3600C14Q-64GVKARipjaws-VDDR4-3600MHz-CL14-14-14-34-1.45V64GB-(4x16GB) 2
eracer1111 Posted November 27, 2021 Posted November 27, 2021 (edited) Sorry, but I'm a bit confused by something I've read in this thread. Am I right in understanding that with my 5600X I can use 4x16GB single-rank RAM, but should stay away from 4x16GB dual-rank? Can the Ryzen 5 memory controller only handle 4 total ranks? I'm building a system now and already have the 5600X and a B550 MOBO. I also have a G.Skill Trident Neo kit (4x16GB/3466MHz, single rank) but that kit was free, and I wouldn't be opposed to upgrading the RAM eventually if I can gain the 6-9% CPU numbers I've seen tossed around in this thread.

Long Horn Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 (edited) I'm in the same boat. How is this for a good build out? Never built a PC but can learn anything. I've been following this thread. Not sure of which case yet but how am I doing so far? DCS Dedicated at this point. Who knows what other games I might try. I'd like to stay around 4K including HOTAS I'd also like to get the best VR setup possible.

Svsmokey Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 VR ? If you decide to go there , you should get the best GPU you can afford . I personally would not consider a 3060 for a new VR build . And in any case , you will almost immediately find a 500 gb ssd to be inadequate . 1 9700k @ stock , Aorus Pro Z390 wifi , 32gb 3200 mhz CL16 , 1tb EVO 970 , MSI RX 6800XT Gaming X TRIO , Seasonic Prime 850w Gold , Coolermaster H500m , Noctua NH-D15S , CH Pro throttle and T50CM2/WarBrD base on Foxxmounts , CH pedals , Reverb G2v2
BitMaster Posted January 2, 2022 Posted January 2, 2022 yep, that GPU wont cut it, neither in 4K nor VR. 500GB will also likely be not enough. My DCS is ~324GB alone and I dont even own all modules. So 500GB formatted to NTFS +Win10/11 + DCS = already near maxed out. Get minimum a 250GB for the OS and a 500GB for DCS, or bigger. I would preferably pick NVMe and skip the cables and such hassle of 2.5" drives PSU...since you definitely need a bigger GPU to get the experience you want you could&should reconsider the PSU. I would rather get 850w and maybe Platinum rated. 1 Gigabyte Aorus X570S Master - Ryzen 5900X - Gskill 64GB 3200/CL14@3600/CL14 - Sapphire Nitro+ 7800XT - 4x Samsung 980Pro 1TB - 1x Samsung 870 Evo 1TB - 1x SanDisc 120GB SSD - Heatkiller IV - MoRa3-360LT@9x120mm Noctua F12 - Corsair AXi-1200 - TiR5-Pro - Warthog Hotas - Saitek Combat Pedals - Asus XG27ACG QHD 180Hz - Corsair K70 RGB Pro - Win11 Pro/Linux - Phanteks Evolv-X
Bossco82 Posted January 3, 2022 Posted January 3, 2022 Yeah Bitmaster and Svsmokey are correct on both counts. My DCS install is 312gb and I dont own all the modules either. I would save and get a 1tb if you can. DCS is only going to grow over the next year if you buy more modules. I have used Sabrent, Corsair and Crucial. If the drive is just for DCS a Crucial P2 Nvme will do the job just fine. The power supply you put there would be ok. Like Bitmaster said platinum is the best, but if you want to save a few pennies for the GPU. I use a Corsair TX850m gold rated and that powers my system with a AMD 6800xt, the GPU is your toughest call there. For VR a 3060 will struggle unless you turn some graphics settings down. Maybe consider 12600k, MSI Z690 DDR4, 64gb DDR4 for multiplayer, try to stretch to a 3070 but a 3080 is the proper call for VR in DCS.
