Hi all,

I’m looking to purchase a new gaming PC to mainly play Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020) on but I have never considered a custom built PC before, I’ve put together the below spec but any insights would be greatly appreciated.

In time it will probably used for other games but this is the main one so I’m interested in whether the spec will play the game.

I have no idea what monitor to purchase so any recommendations here would also be appreciated.

Many thanks

What's the budget for the PC & Monitor, collective or separate. Are there any limitations in size etc? What about the PC itself, you have opted for a nano build which I would recommend avoiding like the plague for a gaming rig. We can get a smaller mid-tower case if space is of the essence but space and performance go hand in hand, especially with hot new shiny components.
