Both of these are good suggestions but the OP has a maximum budget of $2000 which is highly unlikely to cover a self-build with these components unless he scrimped on the other parts. Better, in my opinion, to get a slightly less capable system with quality components and fast storage.

July 10, 20187 yr Looks decent for the money, and there's a few reviews of people saying they had specifically bought it for P3Dv4. Obviously won't be overclockable though P3D v4.5 MSFS2020 Hisense 50" 4K TV Ryzen 9600x 64gb DDR5 6000mhz, Asrock B650m HDV/M.2 Gigabyte 16gb 9070XT, Thermalright Aqua Elite 240mm 2TB NVMe Boot/FS2020 Drive, 2TB NVMe P3D Drive.

Given the fact it's an 8700k with a 120mm AIO, don't think it will be clocking much lol P3D v4.5 MSFS2020 Hisense 50" 4K TV Ryzen 9600x 64gb DDR5 6000mhz, Asrock B650m HDV/M.2 Gigabyte 16gb 9070XT, Thermalright Aqua Elite 240mm 2TB NVMe Boot/FS2020 Drive, 2TB NVMe P3D Drive.

Personally, I've delidded every CPU I've owned since Ivy Bridge was released in 2012 (except my 5960x and 5820k which are soldered - and my 7900x that I don't want to bother with) so cooling really hasn't been a problem on any of the rigs I've run for quite some time. Everyone has to start somewhere though, so kudos to the OP for picking out a nice rig.
