started a gaming pc build. or a modifying build from an old work pc. wanting to get into dcs world and il 2 type flight/mil sims. super budget.
had an old dell optiplex at office with a nice i7 processor. the rest of it was crap, but that's supposed to be a solid cpu. also had a 128 gb ssd i'll be salvaging for op system.
got a coolermaster case, thermaltake smart 500w psu, 16gb (2x8) ram, and 1tb ssd. went back and forth on using old motherboard, but dell uses a ton of ridiculous proprietary connection and i didn't want to bother figuring our workarounds. so i got a super cheap motherboard and we'll see if it works. if not, can just go back and figure out the dell until i want to upgrade.
still need a gpu, likely gonna get a rx6600, just haven't pulled trigger yet. at this point gonna probably wait until black friday for some deals and also hopefully the new releases coming soon will drop prices again.
gonna 3d print and build some hotas, likely from authentikit. hoping the finish some more of their p51 plans soon. probably gonna start with the spitfire since it's mostly complete. wish i could find a good force feedback option. probably get the vkb gladiator for other/modern flight stick and throttle.
