Hi there, I'm in a similar position in that I want a first gaming rig specifically for Flight Sim 2020, but its for myself! So very interested in the above info and inclined to go for the exact same spec https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/saved-configurations/amd-am4-gen3-pc/kvkaUzYc0v/ you have come up with. Plus a good matched 27" curved monitor.
I do have a budget of £2500 so this is within it but are there any items that I maybe should tweak to ensure I can use the 'Ultra' scenery/ real weather etc for best results? E.g, better RAM, Graphics card, or monitor?

Wow! Thanks Agent Cooper, that looks awesome, I was in the process of writing my own thread titled
"FS 2020 set up for pensioner with too much time and money!"
So I think I should just go for it and not mess about trying to read up and research anymore. I did try and call these guy - but got "You are number 20 in the queue" - and Scan Computers - ring tone for 10 minutes!
So this is a breath of fresh air!

I note the monitor link is to another supplier, is it best to do it that way rather than get from PC Specialist?
Also some of the items are 'Pre-Order' can anyone give me a ball park delivery time if I just go ahead and order this spec now?

Well Mr Cooper, thanks again, I'll buy you a pint if / when we are ever allowed in pubs again! ;)
Computer and monitor ordered! Hopefully it will arrive before Lockdown ends and summer comes?
Now just got to work out where to put it!

Very best wishes
