Hi Folks,
Hope you're all well.
I bought a PC from here before, and it has served me well. I ran it pretty hard and it's probably time for a new one, all things considered. Does the below look like something that could run Microsoft Flight Simulator on highish settings (maybe not at complete max) in 2023? My current GPU is a mere 4GB and handled it on medium.

I'm a bit cash-strapped at the moment due to a missus with an expensive taste in overseas holidays (!), so I'd like to keep it below about £1,300 if possible. Bearing in mind I bought a PC from here in early 2020 for £800 that ran MSFS on medium, and that things have come along a bit, I'm wondering how the above build would fare, if you know please? I don't really know anything about PC builds or what my current motherboard, power supply and basic air cooling could withstand, but it's starting to fade, given how hard I pushed it.
