What the least expensive computer I can buy or build that will decently run Flight Sim? I need to do a little virtual flying to keep my pilot brain alive. Thanks for any input. |
| Easier to work around a budget. What is your ideal price point, and max price point? RAM costs have gone full retard because of AI demand, so expect a $1000 PC last year to cost like $1500+now, just because of RAM. Example 32gb RAM kit back in September was like $100. It's now $530 for the same RAM kit. |

My boss thought I was shitting him when I forwarded the quote. Albeit, it has 8x128GB DDR5 6400 in it. |
