Hi,

I'm looking to spec a MSFS 2020 gaming PC with Windows and a memory card reader included.

I would like to keep the budget to 1,500 euro ex VAT. I'd like to be running it as high quality with a nice frame rate as possible and will be using it for select games i.e Warzone/COD, Battlefield. If it could be as close to ideal specs in budget.

I did spec this below; but would you recommend something else or Intel/NVidia combo?

Looking to order something this week so any help would be great. It's my first PC gaming experience in 10 years but I want to future proof it!

Hi @quinmichael can you include the link to edit the specification (appears at the bottom of the page when you format the spec to post to the forums)

What monitor are you using with the PC? Physical size isn't relevant but the resolution and refresh rates are important.

This is the link to similar as the quote I did is gone. This would be the top of my budget.

If you could recommend this or any changes that would be great. Most likely going to be in a 144Mhz 1ms monitor with GSync or Freesync if you think AMD is the better call?

This would be a better balanced system and would suit a 1440p 144Hz monitor which I'll link a few after. It's an AMD platform as FS2020 is both on XBox and Playstation which are both AMD so it will be heavily AMD optimised. NVidia GPU's will work with either GSync or Freesync monitors.
