[joem40003]

I know its a guess at this point, but I would love to start assembling a system to run the new MS Flight Sim 2020..like to keep it under 2K. ability to import and record video would be nice.

Probably better to wait for benchmarks so you can pick the best performing hardware

Found the adjustment in the bracket...are you avail if I have further questions?, and thanks...specs are out, and I should have an elite fs2020 setup

Hi there,
Sometimes it gets very busy working from home.
Glad that you figured out how to install the cooler.
You could shoot me a question and as soon I have time I will answer it.

 

[joem40003]

Hi Jojesa..i do have a newbie/old guy question..Is all here, and just a couple of case connections and fans to connect..Btw, only variations from your suggestions were a coolermaster haf xb case, and went with the GeForce RTX2060---2070 hard to find, and saved couple of bucks..Would you recommend 1st boot to be onboard video, or go ahead and install card?..Also interested in your recommendation for a monitor, 36 to 42 inches.. Thanks for all your help, think I will have nice system for FS2020..if they ever release it🆒

I usually test the system with the iGPU and if it works then I install the GPU.
What's your monitor budget?
