Budget (including currency): $400 US

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: flight simulator, COD, FORTNITE and others in this category.

Other details I got my son a pre-built gaming PC for Christmas. I was on a low budget but, after reading about how good Ryzen 5 3600 6 core was, I pick this PC. Its playing good now for what it is but its taking a long time for flight simulator to load. The game will play and so far, only crashed maybe twice. I know a little about computers and components but not enough to figure out what will be a best pair to match together. Im thinking I need a better graphic card. I have a, amd radeon 570 gpu now and thinking I need to upgrade it along with increasing the 8gp of ram to 32. Thanks for the help.

What make and model is you pc? You won't need 32 GB of ram. 16 would be fine as well. The GPU should be able to handle the game if you pace yourself with graphics settings. The game should be run off a SSD. That will improve load times as well as fps.

The rtx 3060ti fe is a good card if you can get it at msrp (your current gpu should be fine though) but if loading times are an issue a 16gb kit of 3200mhz ram pairs well with a ryzen 5 3600 and  costs around $50. A ssd would also increase loading speeds and you should beable to find a 1tb nvme m.2 ssd for under $100 and a 500gb one for under $50
