Looking for a Gaming PC

[DonutUK]

Looking to get a gaming PC, will be used mainly for MSFS but doesn't need to be running at Ultra levels!

Been looking at AMD 5 7600X CPU with RX6700XT 12gb graphics, but wondering if this is going to be overkill for slightly more than casual flight simming, but not full blown enthusiast.
Currently running it on a HP Omen Laptop i7 11800 @ 2.3ghz with a GeForce RTX 3070 8gb card, and getting ok performance, so something similar or a little better would be ideal.
Would like to have 32gb RAM, with at least 2TB SSD (ideally want 2 of them)

If I could get price £1000 or under that would be fantastic, but can stretch to more if the performance will warrant it. Probably a hard limit of £1500.

A 7600 with a 6700XT would not be at all stupid for MSFS. It will do a decent job of 1080p; I wouldn't be sure about 1440p and certainly higher is out of the question. 32GB of RAM and a sizeable SSD would also be wise. But you're not getting it for £1000.

Here's a spec along those lines I could happily recommend:
