Hi, I would like to get some help for a new computer setup
I'm looking for the Aurora R7 with I7 8700K and the Geforce 1080 TI, but for the memory i'm not very sure if it work the money to go with 32GB Dual Channel HyperX™ DDR4 XMP at 2933MHz or i just stay with 32GB Dual Channel DDR4 at 2666MHz. (my style of game is simulation ) like X-Plane 11 or DCS (digital combat simulator) and of course in VR mode and other king of game to in VR and non-VR and for the drive do i stay with SSD and HD or i go with the intel Optane and HD
Doesn't matter since both ram-speeds are way-fast. With an i7-8700 and GTX-1080ti is not like you need to OC anyway (or should even want to). If you order 32gb, you will get two 16gb DIMMs (which will run Dual-Channel ... that's the more-important issue).
You want Intel-i7, Liquid-Cooler for main-processor, 850w PS and 512gb PCIe/NVMe-SSD (for Windows-10, all programs, favorite games/sims ).
No Optane. You can use spinning HDD if you must, but large-capacity 2.5inch famous-maker SATA-SSD's are dirt cheap now-days.
