I am looking for a PC that will run flight simulator 2020 on a budget. Not sure what the budget is though. Can anyone suggest some ready-built cheap setups? Basically, just enough to run it smoothly. It’s cryptic I know.

Personally I have no idea, but I put your question on the web and got this:

From what I can see, the XBox Series S may be the cheapest option that gives a moderately acceptable experience.

Yep. The xbox has to be the cheapest way to access reasonable experience with FS.

The cost of covid inflated hardware has no value in it.

FS is also one of the few new games that to avoid stuttering need 32GB of system ram and yet for the most part consume less than 8GB.

Its coming though, some of the new games are stutter free on a shocking 32GB of system ram whilst only using modest amounts.

I wont be going anywhere near new hardware until next gen stuff is out and prices are back to reasonable??? End of 2022 then.
