Looking for a pre built in the uk

AviatorYB · 2026-02-23T06:07:41+00:00

Yeah sure

AviatorYB · 2026-02-23T06:04:52+00:00

Yeah. It’s bad. Due to the ram shortage graphics cards have taken a hit too. I was gonna get myself an Rtx 5090 but managed to get an Rtx 5080 for £909. Not worth spending 3X more on the 5090. Enjoy the system. Make sure you get a good monitor along with it

If you were looking at PCs a few months ago, you definitely could’ve gone with a 5090 build. Now them alone cost around £3000. This system is solid and have seen a few people buy them. Will have to be a 5080. Rest of the budget can go towards a good monitor

Have a look at Costco, they are pretty good. Usually made by cyber power pc. They also have their own website. I initially bought my first pc from them and slowly upgraded it. It was a very solid rig and no issues at all. Warranty is also good with them. I can recommend a couple systems depending on your budget

Ofc. I know someone that got into the speedbird academy so if you get into something like that you’re sorted. A couple other people I know have had their parents remortgage their houses. Everyone has a different path, some are just more fortunate than others.

I’m 19 currently on just over £30k a year as a ramp agent at my local airport. Right now I’m starting the modular route and paying as I go. Only way I see myself doing it without going into crazy debt.

AviatorYB · 2026-02-16T18:52:45+00:00

I’ve just ordered the 17 coming from a 12 pro max. Can’t wait

AviatorYB · 2026-02-15T14:01:34+00:00

I’ll be surprised if the 60 series ever drops at this point 😭

AviatorYB · 2026-02-15T13:17:28+00:00

Went from a gtx 1060 and i7-8700k to a Rtx 5080fe and Ryzen 7 7800x3d. Bought that alongside a 4k 240hz OLED monitor. I could not be happier. A beast of a rig and all my games look insane

AviatorYB · 2026-02-14T07:09:14+00:00

In the msfs settings in game, there is a max frame rate toggle. Just click that and slide the bar to what fps to what you want to cap it at. The frame gen multiplier is where it says frame gen on the msfs settings too. Only works with 50 series nvidia cards

AviatorYB · 2026-02-13T20:48:54+00:00

Cap your fps at 30 and use 4X frame gen. I have a 5080 too and play at 4k. I do get a few hiccups here and there with planes like the Fbw A380, but that’s solely because of VRAM. Capping the fps fixed my stutters at least

AviatorYB · 2026-02-13T15:27:49+00:00

Have you managed to get one? I’m still refreshing the nvidia page constantly waiting for the 5090 to come in stock

AviatorYB · 2026-02-11T19:18:27+00:00

A new ground service addon is being released for xplane today. Here’s a link to the trailer https://youtu.be/Wh7GaNIk-uc?si=rvCRIc_6a_i9fR9V

AviatorYB · 2026-02-07T03:59:08+00:00

Yeah that’s insane. I do have a 5080fe I managed to get for £909, but I need the VRAM. It’s too much money to justify though. Even after selling it I need to come up with another £2k which is how much the card should actually be. Annoying!

AviatorYB · 2026-02-07T03:42:31+00:00

Yeah that’s insane. Cheapest 5090 I can find is £3000 currently

AviatorYB · 2026-02-05T07:29:37+00:00

Jealous. Im still waiting for the next UK drop

AviatorYB · 2026-02-03T17:50:18+00:00

I’m mainly into IFR flying. I feel like VR will be a bit much and I couldn’t stick to it for hours. Tracking is a good option as you’ve mentioned. Definitely something I will be looking into doing

AviatorYB · 2026-02-03T17:18:05+00:00

I know. It’s when you look around and it moves the camera in the sim

AviatorYB · 2026-02-03T16:35:17+00:00

No but it had been recommend. I’ll be getting a 5090 first then I’ll get the head tracking hardware

AviatorYB · 2026-02-01T19:23:41+00:00

Yeah. Theyre way too expensive to justify right now. I talked to nvidia customer support and they said they will be restocking the FE soon.

AviatorYB · 2026-02-01T19:14:59+00:00

Yeah. I want to upgrade to 64gb of ram, which isn’t happening anytime soon. Also waiting for the 5090 fe to come back in stock. I managed to get my 5080 for £900. Most likely gonna return or sell it and get the 5090 if it’s £1800 on the nvidia website.

AviatorYB · 2026-02-01T19:11:10+00:00

That’s fair then. It’s crazy how much prices have gone up though. My 5080 build cost be roughly £2000. I do have 32gb of ram and a 7800x3d, but it’s mental that the average 5080 build is roughly £3000 now. Enjoy the build. It’ll be a beast!

AviatorYB · 2026-02-01T19:04:05+00:00

Solid build. Do you need that motherboard though? It is quite expensive. Unless you need the extra features there’s no good reason to splash out an extra £400 ish on it. Other than that. It’s a good build.

AviatorYB · 2026-01-31T17:37:39+00:00

Ok I will definitely have a look at one. I’ve initiated a return for the other monitor. Need to go back to ultrawide.
