Hi!
Thank you first because I found this forum incredibly helpful after weeks struggling trying to understand how PC work. I bought my one and only PC 15 years ago then went to console for gaming....
I want to build a very discrete PC for playing games on my TV (in 1080p), including my old favorite flight simulator Il2 Sturmovik and other CPU and RAM demanding simulators (Asseto Corsa, Arma).
I found that I need to overclock my system to run this type of games, from which I'm a bit affraid. Then, based on simulators PCs configurations found on Scan.co.uk (https://www.scan.co.uk/3xs/custom/pc-simulators/flight-simulator-pcs#anc) I've gathered this configuration:
Fractal Design Core 500
i5-6600K
MSI Z170I GAMING PRO AC
EVGA GTX 970 SSC
Noctua NH-D15s
Vengeance LPX Series Low Profile 2x8 Go 3000MHz
Corsair RM650i 650W
240 Go SSD / 2To HDD
MSI promises overclocking to be very easy so I'm pretty sure I'm getting this motherboard. CPU and GPU are also good for my budget but I'm not sure for the other components and any help would be really appreciated...
Thank you again and in advance
