Advice on New Build. Budget 2k-ish

[bigdunc]

Hi

I am after a new Pc to replace my aging 10 year old Pc. Does the spec below look ok or can anyone recommend a better alternative? Not going to be used for gaming very much, only light sim stuff hence the 4060.

64 gig of ram is a waste of money unless your doing VM's or major photshop/CAD work.
Great airflow case. It has rgb fans but you dont need to attach the rgb cables if you dont want to.

from what i've seen the 78003d performs the best with flight sims, so I've built a system around that, one thing that this system is future proofed on is that it can take a pcie5 m.2, just in case you really get into the flight smiming, and the future shows that the fastest pcie5.0 m.2 suits that
yes, I've gone overkill on the graphics, but I have no idea what kind of higher detail settings can be put on a flight sim, nor if the requirements might go up in the future after updates or even if there is a newer version of microsoft flight simulator released as well, you might want to upgrade your monitor at some point for a 4k higher refresh rate one in the future too, so i'm I'm just future proofing you I guess, because for a high price build, I think that you deserve that.
Same with the 64GB of ram, why not future proof for a high price system! maybe a game will tickle your fancy in the future too, idk
The case comes with a 650w psu, in case you are wondering why I've not included a normal case or a psu

Some changes based on the max budget build.

I went with a 16GB video card, because I assume you might need that for work purposes?

You probably don't need the X3D, but it helps minimise the impact of slow memory and some workloads do still benefit.

I could have chosen a cheaper motherboard, but I assumed you wanted 4x M.2 slots and plenty of PCI-E lanes?
