I'll leave it up to the tech experts because I am not. I have been forced to go "prebuilt" because of the scalpers CPU/GPU parts and it will be Alienware as I have $4K financing.
Alienware just announced the new 5000 series CPU's for their desktops. I typically upgrade every 7-8 years so I want it to play games decently a few yrs from now. My main concern is Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and that is a challenge for any hardware today but I would love to play it in 4K at least at 30FPS with HIGH to VERY HIGH settings. For general aviation sims, 30FPS seems to be acceptable as it translate to a smooth visual experience but i'll take a higher FPS as a bonus.
I was looking at building my prebuilt with the Ryzen 5800X which is an 8 core but thought for future growth maybe the 5900X 12 core would be better. What do you think?
The prebuilt comes with 32GB of DDR4 3200mhz and I have the choice of the RTX 3080 or the new RX 6800XT. I need advice on these as well. I've read that Ryzen works better with the fastest RAM you can give it but is 3200Mhz acceptable or do I need to go with 3400Mhz? This is strictly a GAMING Rig so NO email, web browsing etc, just games.
Anyways, thanks for offering your advice in advance !
