New build for MSFS2020

[Driver170]

Hey, i just got this build made up and i’m looking to see if the hardware is chosen correctly. I did plan on the AMD 9950X3D but settled for the 9800X3D

Thanks

What gpu? I wouldn't use a Gigabyte MB unless i had no other choice. Also, I'd go for a 140mm fan in back, and two 140mm on the side.....that is in addition to the three 140mm fans in front and the 360mm radiator up top. I wouldn't use windows 11 home, i'd use pro or enterprise. 4 tb isn't much storage these days. It's alright.....but I think you could do better for nearly £3000.

Ah sorry forgot to mention that. I’ll be using my RTX3080ti for now

Gigabyte MB's are fine, he's probably talking about the bad warranty experiences in the US, in Europe we don't have those issues.

Ok that’s good to know. I’ll go ahead with what i listed. Would you recommend those additional fans?

i would say build it, try as it is, and buy more fans if needed.
Not sure it's absolutely needed

I like how they give the price with tax.

No, my opinion has nothing to do with warranties. I genuinely don't care for them. They are bottom of the barrel, and I typically leave Gigabyte as last, cheapest resort.

Non-gimped Group Policy editor, domain support, Active Directory support.......Those are reason enough for me not to use Home, but you do you.

If you are going to void your warranty by putting a GPU in this rig, why don't you just build the whole thing yourself?

I generally stay away from their boards and gfx cards as well they always have issues for me.
