These high-frequency Intel chips tend to get hot, so a solid cooling system is essential. If your build has a nice look but poor airflow, you might face issues. On the Lian Li TU150 I don’t notice much ventilation, but I’m not an expert. If you prefer Lian Li, the Lancool II Mesh offers great airflow.
Try to have 8 cores. There is currently a glitch with just 4 cores (though that will be patched). I would recommend a 10700K, 3700X/Zen3 successor or higher. My 3700X has been handling it perfectly well. DX12 is also coming so multi threaded support will get better. Right now, this sim only uses 4 cores heavily and additional cores much less.
