Now it’s over a year later, I’ve swapped my 1060 for a 3060 Ti, and the 5800X3D came out and it absolutely dominates Microsoft Flight Sim, a game I enjoy on the regular.
I got a 3700X from a friend used for $200 as a place holder until I could get the CPU I wanted (I was coveting the 5950X at the time).
Idea being I could run any game or VM setup I want for probably the next 5-10 years. I used an ASUS Pro WS X570-ACE motherboard paired with 4x32GB of ECC DDR4-3200 RAM. During the great CPU/GPU shortage of a year ago, I built the backbones of a killer workstation/gaming AM4 system.
