My current PC (and my first build) is now 4 years old and showing signs of age in both speed (for newer games) and reliability (USBs can be a bit temperamental with certain peripherals, old 390X GPU failed and replaced with a second-hand 1070 to keep me running)
I'd also like to step up to 1440p gaming from 1080p
Will mainly use it for flying/playing DCS (which is dreadfully optimised in many ways and needs high single-core clock speeds and 32GB to play smoothly)
Anyway - TL/DR I need a powerful new Gaming PC with an Intel CPU and 32GB RAM
I've been refining my build over the last few week and am nearly ready to drop my hard-earned...but can the great and good at Tom's cast their (far more knowledgeable) eyes over this and come back with any thoughts/recommendations/substitutions
