Peter Warren Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 I am looking for thoughts on the system below. It is a Cyber Power PC Gamer pre build from Best Buy. I am hoping to fly Microsoft Flightsim 2020 at or better than their "ideal specs". Will this do it?

W2DR Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Welcome to the forum(s) Peter. Everything is fine except the RAM size. You really need 32 GB as shown in the Ideal Specs. Having only 16 GB will be a real limiter on performance in dense scenery and with complex aircraft. RAM doesn't cost much these days...just have them add another 16 GB. - Doug Intel 10700K @ 5.0 Ghz, Asus Maxumus XII Hero MB, Noctua NH-U12A Cooler, Corsair Vengence Pro 32GB 3200Mhz, Geforce RTX 2060 Super GPU, Cooler Master HAF 932 Tower, Thermaltake 1000W Toughpower PSU, Windows 10 Professional 64-Bit, and other good stuff.

Peter Warren Posted April 18, 2021 Author Share Posted April 18, 2021 Thanks! If I added the RAM at what level would I be with graphics etc. I have been doing flight sim for over 20 years, my last rig was built for the last release. I have found that I am happy with 30fps I know others have the 60 as the benchmark but 30 has always been plenty smooth for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napamule2 Posted April 25, 2021 Share Posted April 25, 2021 I would recommend you get Win 10 Pro 64 bit. You will find it works better especially when you go to make changes. You can get a 2 yr old Dell i9 (3.5 to 4.5 Ghz) with SSD and 1tb HDrive (make it 7200 rpm) and nVidia card (with 4 HDMI for 4 monitors?) and Optical Drive (always good to have) for $1400 or so. Don't buy the 'Gaming PC' hype. That is old hat and pure marketing. A used Dell as described is plenty better than 'New' with marginal specs. Just my 2 cents.
