Future proof PC specs

[Sabine Meier]

Hi everyone that uses MSFS,

quick question that I have is what would you recommend in terms of a future proof PC?

current system can handle the sim but not at the level that it needs for fslabs and detailed scenery.

Hi Sabine, 

I just ordered a new PC and here are the specs: (I definitely recommend going the AMD way in terms of CPU, I have been a loyal Intel customer so far, but a few friends of mine that are serious gamers are raving about the AMD chip running lower temps, etc.) Hope this helps!

Perhaps the newer chips do, but as someone who uses 5800 lower temps is certainly something I do not experience.

Hi Bruno,

thanks for the recommendation. I have been hearing a lot of AMD for the past few years and the performance. I still have a pretty solid case and power supply for now so the core system upgrade is the main concern. GPU is need something I am also investigating but definitely need more vram.
