PC for MSFS 2020

[FSX meistro 0]

Hi all, I am looking at getting a PC for the new MSFS 2020. I am unsure about what build would be good enough to run it at 1080p or 1440p on high or ultra settings with around 30+ fps at most times. I have found a PC with these specs and I would appreciate any opinions on it. 

Thanks!

It's not bad, there's a couple of things I'd improve right off the bat, like 32 GB of a higher speed RAM (3600 MHz) and a bigger SSD, at least 1 TB, and use that for the OS and MSFS. The CPU and 3070 is a very good combo and will be able to run anything you throw at it at 1440 resolution. It's overkill for 1080, though and a bit of a waste of money and potential.

The big questions are: how much is it? What brand is it? Do you know the power supply used and the motherboard?

It's a PCSPECIALIST Vortex ST-S and it is £1700. I don't know what the power supply is but I know the motherboard is an ASUS Prime B560-Plus.

I have also designed this PC from the PCSPECIALIST website which costs around £2000. I'm not sure how reliable they are but these are the specs:
