Hello, So this is my first venture into researching and buying a gaming PC which will be for normal home/office use as well as being my dedicated PC for using the new Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. I have purchased a nice set of hardware like joysticks and headsets for VATSIM as well as a AOC 1440p 120Hz monitor to enable me to see the whole cockpit at once whilst flying.
As well as flight sim 2020, I will also be running vPilot which is the client that runs ATC for flight sim as well as google chrome for looking at departure and approach charts so can already see RAM being a big factor here.
Would you recommend a setup like this PC i have chosen here to be the best performing? My initial qualm was the choice between an intel i7 10700 or the AMD ryzen 7 3800X, and then the choice between the 2060 Super or the new rtx 3070 that has just come out...
My current setup is a i7-6700 with an RX590 which gives me at most 20fps on medium settings in an Airbus A320.
let me know your thought on this build. Windows 10 will be installed via USB installation media to save costs as my budget is £1500
