Help me choose parts

Vicky589

Hi, I am IT professional and I had used only laptops and due to limitations on laptop I am looking for a PC. I generally use Hyper-V to create multiple VM's and do multiple installations of OS, Applications and databases. All my activities are resource intensive which require huge CPU, RAM and high speed I/O. I generally don't play games and I had planned budget of 1500$. Can someone help me to choose parts. In case if I want to play Flight Simulator what else do I need to add to that. I am ready to buy the PC immediately. Can someone help me

Hi there! I merged your two threads to make things a bit easier.

The motherboard and CPU you chose are compatible. If you're trying to do a full build, you still need a power supply, case, graphics card and CPU cooler. Did you have an overall budget in mind? That would help us better determine what parts would fit your needs.

My budget is 1500$ excluding monitor, OS, keyboard, mouse etc

Thank you, that's helpful. So with a $1500 budget, there's ways for us to make this work if you're willing to switch some stuff around. 

If you drop the Samsung SSD for something more affordable like an Inland Premium, that leaves a little room left over to fit in a CPU cooler and a budget-oriented GPU, something like a GTX 1650 Super, which should be sufficient for 1080p gaming and I think should work fine for MS Flight Sim.

If you're willing to drop some of the RAM or the CPU down a bit, we could fit a better GPU into the build, just depends on your preferences.
