High end flight sim PC Spec Check

[matthew.jones2000@hotmail]

Hi I'm building a High end PC for a large flight sim and I'm wondering if this is a good spec or if I need to change the system in any areas.
Thanks in advance.

There are some key questions to answer before anyone can say whether or not this is a good spec.

Monitor(s) that you are planning to use with it.

When you say large flight sim - what software is it - I assume you are talking bigger than Microsoft Flight Sim here or are you just expanding around that game?

Do you know what min spec it asks for?

Is the flight sim run on its own operating system or are you talking windows software here (as you have added window licence)

What is your budget?

Can you also post the link with the above spec so that people do not have to go through reselecting everything in the configurator. Thanks.

What additional equipment are you attaching to the PC for the flight sim?


On a side note, I know its only a hotmail account, but I suggest not using your email address as your User name.

Well ive just ordered an almost identical spec for the same end use.. LOL
only a different case and I went for
Intel® Core™ i9-13900K
ASUS® ROG MAXIMUS Z790 HERO

I cant see how that could currently be improved upon to be honest !

Mine is for Xplane 12 in VR with a bit of FS2020
