Help!

[JordanBlackmore181]

I have no Idea about creating PC's. I will play games like Microsoft flight sim, F1 2021 other racing games, GTA, other simulator games and racing games. Also I will have a 2 monitor display.

I will also be using it for uni work and watching videos.

Is this configuration going to be good for this.

Hi What's your monitor (refresh rate, resolution, panel) and budget? For gaming PC you'll need to up your budget to around 1500 as these specs are more likely closer to an office PC or very low end emergency gaming PC for 2-3 years at most.

Hi What's your monitor (refresh rate, resolution, panel) and budget? For gaming PC you'll need to up your budget to around 1500 as these specs are more likely closer to an office PC or very low end emergency gaming PC for 2-3 years at most.

so ideally my budget would be 1000 but could go up to 1200 if really needed. I have 2 different monitors. monitor 1 = Full HD 1920 x 1080p. not sure about the rest, it is technically a smart display so tv and monitor. monitor 2 = 1920 x 1080p, with AMD free sync. again not sure about the rest of the info. monitor 1 is a

SAMSUNG LS32AM500NUXEN 32" Full HD HDR LED Smart Display​

monitor 2 is a

HP 27fw Full HD 27" IPS LCD Monitor​

neither is a proper specific gaming monitor but they worked well for my PS4, obviously different but still...

Ok you are going to struggle to get a system that will play MSFS for that money & would be better getting a console.
With regards to your monitors if going 1080p you are best to stay down at 24" max as above that the pixel density results in a bad image

 

[Citrus_9]

Agree, as above, 1080p resolution shouldn't be used on bigger than 24-25 inch screens, otherwise it significantly looses a picture quality. My best friendly advice would be to save more money, to around 1800 pounds (would be around 1500 pounds for a new PC and around 300 pounds for one new good quality monitor). I see no point in spending 1000 pounds, which is a lot, to a so-so PC and not be fully happy.

 

[MrWilson]

This is about as low as I would be happy to recommend for a PC to run MSFS. I appreciate that it's more expensive than the original build but anything less than this is false economy in my opinion.
However, if you were able to up the budget a little more we can sort you out a solid 1080p gaming build.
