Hi,

Looking for a PC - that will last me a few years. Primary use case is some amount of data crunching / quantitative processing - In terms of gaming, currently I don't want to buy a high end gfx card, will pick it up later. Will use a very old existing card for now. I want to be able to upgrade the CPU later. Will be getting in 32 GB RAM for now - so pref the board supports 64 GB.

When I do pick up a gfx card, I'll be primarily playing Flight Simulator on Dual or three monitors. So suggest accordingly.

    • 55K
  2. What is your existing hardware configuration (component name - component brand and model)

i5 10600 -----------------------------| Ryzen 3600
B460M Aorus Pro/ TUF Gaming Plus | B450M Pro4 / B550M Pro4
2 x 16GB DDR4 2666mhz or higher -| 2 x 16GB DDR4 3600mhz
Silverstone FARA R1 or cabinet of your choice

Go for bronze rated PSU atleast. Go for gold if your budget allows.
Watts depends on what GPU you buy, what do you think you would be buying?
 
silverstone cabinet is too cheap ,get CM NR600 that looks decent
and if you are looking at just cpu mobo ram , damn no brainer ,pickup 5600x and maybe used b450 tomahawk or budget 550 who can actually maitain PBO and good RAM OC you should be fine ,if going x570 way you could get x570 tomahawk

What key difference does the x570 have over the B550s and 450s?
