VR headset is a Meta Quest 2

Monitor is just a 4K Sony 50” tv as I will mainly be using VR

I will only be playing DCS and maybe MSFS

If I’m honest I went for water cooled mainly for aesthetics and for the sake of a yearly service to keep it fresh I thought it was worth it. Also my limited knowledge of all this told me water cooled was better and I had the budget.

Watercooling these days is only really relevant for heavy home rendering with multi GPU setups where you're stressing the system at 100% for extended periods, or perhaps data science uses.

There's zero benefit for gaming.

I would hold off, there's several new components on a new generation being released shortly which will bring far more performance for the same money.

I have already gone for this setup so to late now haha. Will this setup run gaming well then? I’m guessing from your response it is overkill for what I’ll be doing which I’d rather have too much than not enough.

In all honesty I would cancel and follow the advice for the next generation.

If you absolutely want to go ahead just now I would still cancel and re-distribute the money to a more sensible system.

For the money, no, this will be very poor for gaming.

What will make it poor for gaming? Forgetting the money, just the components. I am happy paying extra for the looks and as long as I can get good frame rate at high graphics on DCS then it is doing what I want and I will learn as I go. Out of interest though what would you change?

Thanks for the reply, I definitely want to go ahead now so what would you change? And what is not sensible about the build? Do you agree it wouldn’t be any good for gaming? Taking the cost out of it and just looking at the components

The fact that in a few weeks you have a host of components that will outperform these by a significant margin for less money.

Youve essentially paid release cost for a 2 year old PC

You’ve essentially just bought a 3070 in performance terms (as it will soon be outperformed by the 4070) but paid £1200 or whatever rather than £500. That’s just talking about the gpu, not including the cpu and SSD’s and everything that’s having major upgrades and aren’t compatible with current gen so you won’t have the option of upgrading to them.

You've paid top tier cost for a mid range pc, just doesn't make any sense.
