It’s time for a new pc, so i can do more real drives.

Depends on which games you actually wanna play on this system. Is it only for TS? Then it's probably overpowered.

Yes, that looks very good indeed, Kim. Not quite sure about Windows 11 though, if you play other PC games on it, not everyone has caught up with the transition yet. I also obtained a 750w ultra quiet Corsair, probably more than adequate for my needs, I thought a 550w was too small, and I opted to have 3 fans in my case.

I also have a 32 inch curved monitor from iiyama which makes driving more fun, it displays a bit more depth in the cab of all my trains, makes me feel like a real train driver.

Keep your scenario packs coming, they are wonderful.

All the best

Instead of the i7-11700F, you can take the i5-13600KF, it's a cheap and fast CPU (and a actual Raptor Lake).

TSc=Fast CPU (single Core Speed)

TSW=Fast GBU + Fast CPU

I'd prefer the 13600KF over the 12700F. But with the B660 Chipset you'll need to update the BIOS first. You can do that without a supported CPU if the Mainboard has BIOS Flashback.

Otherwise the rest is fine IMO.

8 GB of memory on the graphics card is probably enough for now.

But in the future, this may become a problem.

It depends on the games you play and of course on the resolution.

My opinion: If I would buy a new PC now, I would look out for at least 10 GB of graphics memory.

Unfortunately, due to Crypto mining many of the larger Graphics cards, RTX 3070, 3080, 3090 are not available at the prices they were back in 2019. I obtained my new PC in October last year hand built by a specialist company, the largest nVidia GPU they sold was a 3060ti nothing else was available. You can buy anything now on Amazon, etc, but, you can pay ridiculous prices for the privilege, over 1,000 Euros for a card, and the prices don't look like dropping for a long time.

Cheerz. Steve.

You can have a look at used Graphic Cards, if you're lucky you get a cheap one.

Yes, i quite agree you can, however, a brand new machine deserves brand new components. I don't like buying used second hand PC equipment, you don't know what condition it is in, and if it breaks, or, doesn't work properly after a little while, there is often no warranty and you cannot get a refund from the seller, so, it's a waste of money. If you obtain something new you can get a replacement from the seller if anything bad happens to it as it would be under consumer/customer guarantee.

Cheerz. Steve.

Congratulation to your new PC and good to hear it is working, so hope we can look forward

to many new real drives advanced in future.

merry xmas and have fun

Now take a 34 Zoll UQHD Monitor up to 144hz an the Immersion is perfect.
