Hi,

I am looking to build a PC and at the same time want to get in to the flight simulator world. I am looking for feedback on a possible build and any changes that you would suggest to the following build with 1440p in mind. 

Is it overkill? What should I change?

Thanks in advance!

Looks very decent .. the only things i would adjust .. Please find CL 28 or CL 30 memory and the power maybe 850 to 1000 watts just for future proofing. Also depending on how far you fall into the addon hole you may need a 2TB NVME but you can get by with 1TB... for now.
