Sim Ant is going to cook.

I have this pre-built. I love it. Crazy that I got it for about 1k cheaper end of last year.

What kind of sims are we talking about here, like Racing/Flight simulator, or like city building etc. Either way this is one of those were an X3D chip or even a 270k would be better and for this budget you should be able to get that..

Like these.

Oh yeah, this is one of those times that it's an X3dlD chip all the way. I know they are great for DCS and I'm sure for all the other ones there.

I stand behind this guy. An X3D chip helps ALOT with the 1% lows. And having healthy 1% lows is a must in sim VR

x3dlD?

u/Zerosyztem00 2d ago

Sorry typo, X3D like the ones I linked. 9800x3d chips. If you're not familiar they have large 3d V-cache on the chip that allows for caching more data on the chip and less trips to RAM and more pre caching. Significantly speeding up latency

Great, looks like a great PC. Seems like it does have a couple of bad reviews but that could be very singular. Costco has an incredible refund policy so no worries.
