Hey! You're weighing options for your next PC. Intel offers cheaper CPUs compared to AMD Ryzen 7 5800X, and you're thinking about PCIE 4.0 for SSDs since flight sim runs better with faster storage. You mentioned a preference for speed in games and YouTube content, which aligns well with the B560 series (like ASUS ROG Strix B560-E). The Corsair MP600 CORE is similar in price to the ADATA XPG SX8200 Pro, but the B560 has higher base clocks and 5GHz+ boost for better performance. Saving around £130 could be a good deal, especially if you're okay with the ASUS choice for better integration with Corsair products. Let me know if you want more details!

I’d pick the 5800x since it supports PCIe 4.0 and won’t be an issue. The 5 GHz boost is uncertain, so it’s a bit of a risk.

The Asus B550-F costs about £165, which makes it hard to figure out where you're getting £320 from. Even the X570-F isn't that expensive. https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/JXBh...0-f-gaming The 11700K and 11900K will both require excellent cooling, since the current 10th gen already gets hot. Also, the 8-core configuration caps at 8 cores instead of 10 on the 10900K. A Z590 board would fit better if you're using a 'K' CPU, as it supports overclocking. I think Intel is permitting RAM overclocking on the B560 chipset, but CPU overclocking remains restricted to the 'Z' chipset. It might be wise to wait for reviews and pricing of the 11th generation before deciding.
