Please clarify the following:

You say "2nd gen i5" in the title and  "i5 3.9mhz processor", which is unclear as second generation i5s are about 10 years old and did not run as high as 3.9G(not m)hz. Which specific processor are you asking about? eg. 11500

You say "Nvidia 360 12GB". I assume you mean 3060?

At what resolution and settings level do you intend running FS2020? 1080p, 2K, 4K, VR? eg. 2K and ultra. This has a major impact on what system is recommended.

No worries.

At 1080p you should be able to run such a system at ultra settings and get very good performance. At 4K your video card may struggle to achieve a similarly high level of performance without turning some settings down, but you should still be able to run it at mostly high settings (which IMO looks very close to ultra anyway).

I know someone who recently bought a system with a similar specification to the one you propose and they are very happy with the performance and visual quality they are getting in FS2020.

Honestly 4k is a waste 1440P Its the best of both worlds good visuals and performance.
