Bonus Time

[Stefan15]

Hello to all. Below is a build I have spec'd out. Please take a look and let me know what you think. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. This will be my 2nd computer build. Looking for it to last me a little bit, with an upgradeable path in the future. Games are Microsoft Flight simulator X, Forza, No mans Sky, Age of Empires. I do use Fusion 360 on a newbie level  Otherwise just web surfing. No peripherals are needed. Would also appreciate a good recommendation on a monitor (27 inch or bigger) please.

 

Thank you

The use case outlined doesn't need much CPU or GPU. An i5-13400 with a Radeon RX 6600 would likely be more than enough. Of course if you want to upgrade to more demanding titles like MS Flight Simulator 2024 this would be the entirely wrong system
