October 30, 20205 yr I have always built my own computers but as time goes by, have lost a little confidence in getting the right choice. Any advice would be welcome. I hope each component fits the other components to provide a solid machine based around Microsofts recommended requirements but also minimizing the cost to around £400. I shall be using my current hard drives, case and power supply. MSI Radeon RX 570 ARMOR 8GB OC GDDR5 Graphics Card AMD Ryzen 5 2600X AM4 Processor with Wraith Spire Cooler MSI AMD B450M-A PRO MAX AM4 mATX Motherboard Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (1 x 16GB) DDR4 2400 DIMM Memory Thanks for any help Rob Rob Payne

Look for 2x8gb of at least 3200mhz stuff See if you can somehow squeeze your budget a bit, and change the 570 for a GTX 1660 super 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.

October 30, 20205 yr Are you using this purely for gaming? If yes maybe go with the 3300X rather than the 2600X? It's got 2 less cores than the 2600X but it delivers better gaming performance generally. It also has a slightly higher clock/boost speed which might help with MSFS. One option could be: 3300X £114 B450 £65 GTX 1660S £220 16GB RAM £65 Total £464
