Need to know your budget.

AMD Ryzen 5 5600x + RTX3070 + 32GB + SSD

What's an 8400? a laptop cpu?
Never mind, there are no graphics cards in stock on this planet.

This is a very good combo. It's difficult to get hold of these components individually, but I've seen them available in this exact configuration in prebuilds.

Getting hold of PC part may get harder and more expensive, I have been looking at more SSD storage time to buy I think before prices rocket, the Samsung 1TB M2 SSD PRO I purchased last year has already gone up buy £15.

It will give you complete satisfaction in 1080p and 1440p without breaking the bank.

¡Ay, caramba!  Not good for the PC market and those of us looking to build a new one.

I just put an order in with Jetline Systems. They come highly regarded and will fine-tune your PC for MSFS before they even ship it. Im just waiting for them to get another batch of 3080's in before they can start my build. They said it would probably be about a month, two weeks ago. If you have the cash, I'd look into them. There's lifetime support with system. Not just for OS, etc... But support for the actual simulator. Give them a peak!

I second this.  I am currently on my 2nd system built by them and they have both been excellent.  My current system is getting a little long in the tooth, so I am starting to think about ordering another system from them.  Will prob wait until Intel the 12^th generation Alder CPUs come out later this year.
