Hi all,

Can anyone help me with a PC build as the title says? VR for MSFS and 1440p for anything that isn't VR. I have a decent monitor and keyboard etc so just a tower is needed. Don't really have a budget limit but also don't see the sense in spending extra hundreds of pounds on a fraction of an increase. Would also prefer MSFS to sit on a SSD for load speeds. Hoping to use the Quest 2 VR headset, I don't know that makes a difference to the build?
 
Well if I had to put a budget on it I'd say around £4.5k. I'm aware of the shortages at the moment but I'd like to get an idea of what I could expect and what kind of specs to be looking out for. I'm in a position to purchase as soon as stock comes in.
 
Maybe go for a prebuilt as you don't have to spend ages looking for GPU stock or pay scalpers prices.

Just ask OCUK to swap the 3700X to a 5800X and change the ram to 32gb and you're good to go.
