Help with PC for MS Flight Sim

[coupe69]

No monitor, PSU or peripherals required. Would ideally like mITX or mATX. Budget 1.2k

Go go go!

TIA.

There is the Phanteks case, I have it and personally love it. The mobo doesn't have wifi - there is the wifi version if you need that.
g if you are?

The Ryzen 5600x is an option - it is 6 core. What screen res and refresh rate will you be playing with?

Are you playing at 4K? My 3080 is on the limit at highest settings, so not much left for rest of your build?

Thanks guys. Will be playing at 1080p, so i reckon 3060ti would be a good shout if you can get hold of them!

I'm also looking at building a 1080p sim rig (Project Cars, XPlane, etc.) around the 3060Ti, preferably M-ITX. Seems like Ryzen is the way to go and would help with thermals in a small build? Especially with OCing.
