Just looking for some opinions on this build. I would also like to make sure that I have everything on the list that I would need in order to make this work. Please give any info that may help.
Cooling system changed to a liquid cooling system.

not too bad, tho i'd change ram at least.
i'd get a diff mobo & cpu if you're open to amd
i'd get a diff graphics card if you're open to amd
/e liquid cooling is over rated, if it leaks, it's bye bye computer & the temp drops are only noticeable when you spend at least 100$ on it

Thank you for the comment. I like intel, just seems to work well. The mobo and graphics card are fine though right? For the memory, why do you suggest in changing it?

alright, just letting you know . amd works fine also..
yeah, the mobo & graphics card are fine.
the ram is over priced/not worth this price.

you should look up combo deals if you're about to buy tho.

Ram I am fine with the price. 1866, 9cl

The mobo I am using from a computer that another website was using, called jetlinesystems. They specialize in flight simulator computers and they were using that mobo. If you know a better mobo definitely lmk..

1600mhz cl9 , 53$
1866mhz cl9 vs 1600mhz cl9 isn't a 20$ difference in terms of performance.

I'll look into that. $20 isn't much of a difference for me, I would like to keep this computer for the next decade so a little extra for a small amount of security is fine with me.

They are noticeably better than most at this price?

faster ram isn't going to make your computer better/last a decade
get a stronger graphics card instead of faster ram..

/e just give the info asked in the sticky...

Well I wasn't really suggesting that ram is the thing I need to settle on in order to make this computer last awhile.

I am assuming you meant this info from sticky:



Description: Gaming, entertainment
Budget: $800 - 990
More specific use (what games, what programs): bf3, flight sim, d2, d3 (Run SMOOTHLY)
Planned time until purchase: Soon
Do you need an Operating System?: Not necessary
Do you have any specific preferred components?: Intel but not necessary, just seems a bit more solid and stable than amd, just imo though.
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: No
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: Heard there is possibility of liquid cooling mishaps, so stock cooling. Not a priority to O/C
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: No
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs): NN
HDD: 500GB+
Tower: Fan/meter controls
Power: 600+


Flight sim is overwhelming on the graphics btw, needs strong gpu.

Lmk if there is anything else
