Hey guys I know it’s 2018 and I am tremendously late, but I finally ordered my first custom PC rig, I am not super tech savvy I am 16 y/o and I ride dirt bikes so I don’t know much but I hope someone can help, and now I suppose in retrospect I should have came here before choosing my rig but anyways, here is the specs:

CPU: Ryzen 7 2700x 3.7GHz
GPU: Radeon RX 580 4gb
RAM: 8gb (another 8gb stick ordered soon after)
New to PC building so I don’t know that it matters but it has a 250gb SSD (and a 1TB HD even though I know that doesn’t matter, but it’s also liquid cooled and it has an 850 watt PSU

This is a very descriptive post and I apologize but my biggest question is can I run Mx Sim at high graphics while playing alone and at least Medium graphics when racing (I doubt I will ever race a full gate but if you have information regarding how my PC will do with that, it’s appreciated) Thanks in advance if anyone is able to help, I have been following this community for a while like since I was 11 and had been racing real bikes but could never get a PC. Cheers!

Thanks a ton man. I actually was able to upgrade to a 1070 8gb instead since my monitor allows g sync!

Why do you have a 850w psu thats a waste man (looking at your setup you need like 500)

having a huge gap between psu usage and what its rated for is good, the psu fans will hardly kick in as its barely at half capacity = quieter Pc

Your PSU exhausts out of the case. You don't need it opened to hear it if its wide open.
