Unless I'm mistaken, and I have been wrong before, I am quite excited to play this game.

Microsoft announced VR for Flight Simulator will drop before the end of the month, and will be available on Oculus/Vibe not just the HP augmented reality headset! Looking forward to that, although probably not as much as @Captain Snooze was for Cyberpunk.

How goes FliSim? Is it still awe inspiring? What graphics card are you using?

If you're into flight sim, it's pretty amazing. If you're just interested in the fly-overs, its still pretty nice but you can get really close to it with just Google Earth.

I'm running a Radeon 5700XT, but I'm only pushing at 1920x1080 (monitors need upgrading).

I am calling upon the PC gaming Gods to help me. I was going to purchase an MSI Meg Trident X with the 3080. But my brother suggested I build one. I like the compact PCs so I 'built' one on the System Builder. Could I ask thee to inspect and evaluate my creation?

Looks like a relatively solid build, although I didn't look at the specs for each piece. I believe it does, but make sure if you need it the motherboard has both wifi and ethernet (wired). Some of them don't have both.

i would recommend getting a smaller SD drive for the OS, and keep the 1T for everything else, games are big, as is the OS.

I would consider upping to 32G of memory as well particularly for gaming.

I like the case, have to keep that one in mind. It doesn't have an external disk bay which would have prohibited it on my last build, but probably not on my next.

Also, isn't the 3080 pretty much impossible to get right now? I don't follow NVIDIA that closely (I prefer AMD) but seems I recall reading that on Tom's Hardware.

So 2 drives?

As for memory, I was looking into the HyperX fury 16gb so 2 total for 32gb. However, on PC Part Picker, it wasn't an option. So I didn't know if it would fit. And my brother recommended the ram I chose. Though my current PC only has 16bg ram and is fine.

Yes, two drives, one for the OS only, one for all other software installs and documents. You can redirect the OS, as well as Steam/et al to another drive. I also have "My Documents" redirected to cloud storage so it's automatically synching the files there to the cloud (I use OneDrive because it comes with Office, but it could be just about any cloud service).

The two drives is a personal preference, and is probably a nice to have more than a necessity, but adding a 512G drive for the OS gives you twice the space for everything else. That's a common server build strategy as well.

On the memory it's probably not that critical for gaming but it's getting there. That's the recommended configuration for Flight Simulator, for example. Easy enough to add later. Check the motherboard specs but it should have slots that could accommodate 32Gb in memory. If the motherboard only has two memory slots, its cheaper to do it now then to go back later since you would have to throw out what you have. If there are four slots, you could add more later with your 8Gb sticks.

Cool! I'll probably just upgrade the ram now instead of later since it only has 2 slots.

Lose the RGB RAM. You aren't gonna see it.
Also recommend using that money saved and upping to 32GB of RAM.

The board only allows for a single NVME drive, so I would base it's size on what programs you want to install. I use mine for large programs that do make use of the extra speed, and games that do the same.
My OS Drive is 1TB. Game SATA SSD is 2TB.
And 2x TB OG Spinny drives.

Board also only has 2 more SATA slots, one of which will be disabled when using that M.2 drive.

TLDR;
Lose RGB RAM for non light up RAM and up it to 2x16GB sticks.
Keep 1TB NVME Drive.
Get another 1-2TB SATA SSD for other storage.

I didn't even realize I selected the light up ram lol

Good catches, like I said I didn't look at the board specs. I'd be tempted to upgrade the motherboard if its this limited though.
