My first PC for flight simming

[Acerazus]

Hello all,

 

My budget is £700 and it's main aim is for flight simming as well as it being a work computer. I also plan to play insurgency sandstorm and Rainbow Six Siege. I currently own two monitors, which I don't plan on upgrading: 

One has a resolution on 1280x1024 (aspect ratio is 1.25:1) and connects via VGA. I'm currently using a VGA to DVI-I adapter.

Another that has a resolution of 1920x1080 (aspect ratio is 16:9) which uses either VGA or DVI-D.

 

OS is excluded from this list.

 

I plan for possible ugrades with this build in the future.

Any help for improvements or to save money would be greatly appreciated

Fair build overall. However,

the 1660 super that you have selected doesn't have two DVI ports, and indeed almost every single graphics card you'll find will have a single DVI port at the very most. Do you plan on getting another adapter?

As that's the case, then yes, I'll get another adapter

Looks like a good build. I'd go for the cx version of the psu, it's not modular, but more reliable.

I'm guessing this is coming from previous experience of cx psu's?

it's coming from their design and components. there isn't a huge difference, so if you really prefer modularity, go for cxm
