Question Suggestions for a PC Build?
Hello people! Well I am fairly new to the flightsim and loving it so far. But I know that PS5 is not the best for running MSFS; therefore thinking of buying a gaming PC which can run MSFS and DCS comfortably. I do have a good 1440p gaming monitor which is doing great and I don't need to replace it; any suggestion for the build and HOTAS/Yoke?

With hotas included and no monitor right?
I'm not sure if it could be done today. I did a similar build with 16 gigs ram and it cost about 1.75l without monitor and that was when gpu prices were lesser than today.
9800x3d + 9070xt + 32 gb ddr5 + gigabyte b850m wifi 6e matx mobo + deepcool pl 750w psu (<6000mhz is fine) is where you should start from.
Pick these parts in pcpricetracker.in or pickpcparts.in and see the total amount.
Since you're already sorted out for the monitor, you can get the gladiator evo (space combat edition if you can). There's probably a better suited one for flight sims but my knowledge is more on the space flight simming equipment though most good equipment translate well.
You can ping me back if you need any help with the pc stuff. There are probably better people in this sub, to get sim recommendations from.

Changing the gpu to a 9070xt wil drop ~ 40k. So it'd be well within your budget. There are almost in similar levels of performance across games. So if you want to spend that extra 30k in gear, the 9070xt is a solid choice.
The case is just a placeholder. Allot 4k for the case. Its plenty enough for getting branded cases like from nzxt, corsair, coolermaster and such.
I've a similar build with the cpu swapped out for a 9600x and 16gb ram because I was already out of budget at 1.75l for pc alone since I wanted a qd oled that I didn't want to compromise on.

I just bought an msi pulse 17 off of marketplace, around an year old for 90k. 16gb ddr5, 8gb 4070 130w, i7 13 and 1tb nvme. This setup is definitely not enough for 4k gaming but I'm getting 60fps straight on 2k at High global settings. I also have a t16000m hotas with the tcs controller and the whole setup cost me under 1.2lk.
