I dont have a monitor yet but im thinking of getting the

MSI G281UV 4K Ultra HD 28" IPS LCD Gaming Monitor - Black​

from currys

my max. budget would probably be around £1400 inc. VAT

That's a 4k 60hz, you're budget is nowhere near enough to power that.

What's your budget for the monitor as that will dictate the GPU you need?

£250 and i just need a monitor that will have RTX capabilities which my old one did and i paid £150 for it

RTX has no reliance on monitor at all, it's resolution and refresh rate that matters for gaming. RTX will work on any monitor, it's a GPU technology, nothing to do with the monitor.

You still haven't mentioned your budget for the PC?

So you'd be looking at a 1080p system.

This is as low as I'd recommend on 1080p, this is allowing for AM5 which is substantially more expensive than the older AM4 but allows for CPU upgrades to be done for a few generations to come.

At 1080p you're more CPU bottlenecked than GPU, and especially for MSFS, you're going to need a CPU upgrade at some point. Unfortunately your budget is restricting what's required for MSFS to work optimally at a CPU (7800X3D) and GPU level (will take whatever you throw at it even at 1080p.

So with this config, you'll have to understand you won't be able to max out all settings, your budget just doesn't allow for it.

But it's a solid platform that you can build on.

The understanding to get it within budget is that you can either transfer a windows license, or purchase your own.

For a monitor, there's actually a good deal on an AOC @ £170 which means we've got some more budget for the system so it's still within budget

Re edited, there's a bug in the configurator where if you exit it resets to previous defaults.

I will definetely consider this when purchasing but i will be upgrading my parts later on so im not too bothered about the starting build

That's a bad way to do it.

With a PC you kit out the platform strongly as much as you can, if you're changing components outside of the CPU and GPU in a build during it's lifetime, then it's not configured properly and you'll pair poor performance with extreme overspend. Strongly NOT advised.

Basically if the platform isn't strong enough to support upgrades down the line, doesn't matter what you eventually put in it, it will always have bottlenecked performance.

If you do things right with the base now, the only thing you should really need to upgrade over the next 7-10 years is the GPU a couple of times

Yes, but you'll have to reduce settings to accommodate it, there's nothing you can do about that, your budget isn't high enough to get anywhere close to max settings even at 1080p.

No, it's hasn't got sufficient airflow. Case isn't about looks, it's just a good case includes good looks, it's primarily about airflow to cool the components inside.
