November 30, 20205 yr Hi All, I am looking at getting a new computer for MSFS 2020, I have found one on Chillblast PCs, it’s called the Chillblast Fusion Cirrus 4 Flight Sim PC. The important specs are; Processor • Intel Core i7-9700K Coffee Lake Processor (Overclocked by up to 20%) • 12MB L3 Cache CPU Cooler • Corsair Hydro Series H80i GT Liquid Cooler Motherboard • Asus STRIX Z390-F Gaming Motherboard Memory • 16GB DDR4 2666MHz • Configuration 2 x 8GB • Dual Channel Support on 2 DIMMs • 4 x DIMM Slot Graphics • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 Super 8GB Graphics Card Power Supply • Corsair CX750 750W 80 PLUS PSU Are these specs good enough to run MSFS on at least medium settings (streaming live data) at KJFK (found this is the most frame intensive area) with good FPS? Regards
November 30, 20205 yr Yes...but you need more I would say for higher than Medium. I run i7 4790k 4.0Ghz, 16GB with 1070 on high/medium at 1080P. In places like New York in GA I get about 25-30 FPS low altitude with all the buildings. In the A320 performance not so good. Edited November 30, 20205 yr by sidfadc Thomas Derbyshire
November 30, 20205 yr Author Thanks for the responses, I used New York as example because I’ve always found the area as the worst performing in sims from FS9 upwards so it sounds other areas should be good

November 30, 20205 yr CPU Cooler • Corsair Hydro Series H80i GT Liquid Cooler If you are going to overclock that cooling solution will not cut it. The 9700k runs hot. (not as hot as the 9900k but hot). I would recommend nothing smaller than a Corsair H100i. Tim Curtis MSFS2020, i7-9900k 5.0Ghz, 32GB Ram, Nvidia 3080, 48" LG OLED CX
November 30, 20205 yr How badly do you need a system right now? Because this is the worst possible time be buying a system, sorry to say. If you hold out a few more months, you won't have to settle for a last-gen CPU/GPU, which is what's in that spec. Also, if you're going pre-built, you don't need to pick something with "flight sim" in the name. That's meaningless.
November 30, 20205 yr Currently running a Ryzen 2700 which I plan to upgrade to a 5600 in the new year. Lucky enough to get an Nvidia 3070. I've also been promised another 16 gb of RAM for Xmas, so should have something to run MSFS well. No plans to run in 4k in the near future, otherwise I would have got a 3080 gpu and a 5900 cpu.

November 30, 20205 yr Author I need a rig bad-ish, I get the your pc doesn’t meet minimum standards on load up, the menus take 30 minutes to load anything and i get 1 FPS at times with constant freezing over the threshold

By spring next year you'll get this gen components for about the same price.

November 30, 20205 yr Not bad! Although, for not that much more I'd go for the 2080 Super. Seems this sim is not very friendly to OC'ed video cards, so I'd get the slightly better card and run it stock. Will help with higher texture and AA/TAA settings and especially if you want to go VR or run a slightly higher rez... Edited November 30, 20205 yr by Kilo60 Chris Camp

A more powerful GPU will make a night and day difference to how much you can scale the settings on the sim
November 30, 20205 yr 9700F, 2070 super, 16GB, on a B360M. I play at 1440 ultra with 50 fps in non city and 30ish in photo cities. Can dip to 12 when landing in photo city and hand airport. 9950X3D, PNY 5090, 64GB DDR5 6000, MSI X870-P, GIGABYTE AORUS Gen5 2TB NVMe, 3440x1440 AW3423DW gsync ultimate.
