Hey everyone! I'm gearing up for my first custom PC build since I plan to sell my pre-built one. My main focus is running flight simulators, specifically Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024. From what I've gathered, MSFS is very demanding on the CPU, and I've picked the 7800x3d as my processor. Here's my PCPartPicker link: [https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MGq4mC](https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MGq4mC). I'd love to hear your thoughts and any recommendations on the components I've chosen, especially for parts other than the CPU and GPU. Thanks a lot!

I'd suggest swapping your power supply for the NZXT C750 Gold or a Corsair RM750x. They offer better ratings and build quality for a similar price. Besides that, everything else seems solid!
Looks good overall, but don’t forget that MSFS needs a robust GPU too. If you can swing it, the 7900XT or even the 4070 could be worth considering if budget allows!
Good point! I'll check out the 7900XT; it might just fit in my budget!
Just a heads up, your RAM might not fit under the Peerless Assassin cooler. Consider going for a Montech Century II or Vetroo power supply instead; they’re usually more affordable and better quality.
Thank you for catching that! Do you have any RAM suggestions that would fit?
Thanks for the recommendation!
