Hi,

Looking to get a new PC, was just wondering if you think some of the parts are too high spec or not.

Will be using for gaming like football manager and flight simulator.

Also not sure if the cooling is good enough.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Original spec came in at £2240, this is a little cheaper and a bit more well rounded.

Case
LIAN LI LANCOOL 215 GAMING CASE Better airflow case
Processor (CPU)
AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D Eight Core CPU (3.4GHz-4.5GHz/100MB CACHE/AM4) Best CPU for flight sims, and smashes out every game you chuck at it.
Motherboard
ASUS® TUF X570-PLUS GAMING WIFI (USB 3.2 Gen 2, PCIe 4.0, CrossFireX) - RGB Ready! Better motherboard to handle the CPU and also has dual gen 4 m.2 support.
Memory (RAM)
32GB Corsair VENGEANCE DDR4 3200MHz (2 x 16GB) 16GB is ample for most games, 32GB is with flight sims in mind. 64GB is not needed.
Graphics Card
8GB NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3070 - HDMI, DP, LHR A better pairing with your 1440p display. A 3080 will be overkill for every game besides MSFS. If you want to keep it in it won't hurt, but I wouldn't downgrade any other components to fit it in.

1st Storage Drive
2TB SEAGATE BARRACUDA SATA-III 3.5" HDD, 6GB/s, 7200RPM, 256MB CACHE General storage. 2tb is a lot, the larger drives are also a bit slower.

Power Supply
CORSAIR 850W RMe SERIES™ MODULAR 80 PLUS® GOLD, ULTRA QUIET Absolute minimum I would recommend with power spikes and future upgrades in mind. If you opt for the 3080 I would go for a 1000W PSU.
Power Cable
1 x 1.5 Metre UK Power Cable (Kettle Lead, 1.0mm Core)
Processor Cooling
Corsair iCUE H115i RGB PRO XT Hydro Series High Performance CPU Cooler The air coolers PCS offer aren't powerful enough to properly cool the AMD chips. This comes with premium paste so the Arctic paste isn't needed.
