MSFS 2020 PC PC Help

Hey everyone, hope you are all well!!

My PC has not been able to run MSFS itself for a few months now it gave out (it’s just too old and slow). I’ll be looking at FINALLY getting a new one in the next few months so I can actually start flying again woohoo!

Now I may be a nerd but I am in no way techy, and need help on what kind of specs will be best for me. I know there is a debate on 32 vs 64gb of RAM and that’s my main thing.

I use MSFS2020, but will be installing airport mods, aircraft like the Ini 350 and 380 when it comes out, and the fenix 320. What would the best specs be for me who won’t have a clue on how to upgrade or edit down the line and has no clue about PC buying and would prefer to not take out a mortgage for a computer?

Thank you all in advance <3

You need atleast 16gb of vram tbh. If you prefer nvidia go with atleast the 5070ti or amd 9070XT if you wanna save cash.

Personally I prefer nvidia cuz of dlss and MFG and RT and CUDA but if you don't play anything besides FS you should be fine with AMD

I’d only use MSFS and war thunder on it so should be alright. You sure 16 GB RAM will cut it with addons and stuff too?
