July 30, 20205 yr Hi all- I was seriously considering building a computer for MSFS, but I think I just want to buy a prebuilt. Thoughts on this?: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/clx-set-gaming-desktop-intel-core-i7-9700kf-32gb-memory-nvidia-geforce-rtx-2070-super-4tb-hdd-1tb-ssd-black-rgb/6392811.p?skuId=6392811 Thanks!
July 30, 20205 yr I would strongly advise you not to buy a prebuilt. It's best to build your own.

I am fortunate here in Maryland, USA, that I have MicroCenter stores near me. in 2015 they built my system to my specs for $125.00 labor, and that included a two year guarantee. Great since I was nervous about installing my own liquid cooler.

July 30, 20205 yr Apart from looking like a tart's handbag with all that colour stuff, which is probably adding to the price of it without any performance benefit, I'm sure it will do the job. However, for the money, or less, you could probably build something better yourself. Still, if you like it and just want something to arrive in the post and work the same day, then it's not a bad machine. Alan Bradbury Check out my youtube flight sim videos: Here
July 31, 20205 yr I wonder how much the flashing and RGB lighting adds to the cost of components? Seriously, I don't really want that tripe in or on my computer.

Glad he's not picking his parts for his computer based off what you want then!
