I've observed the refurbished PCs she mentioned, which are priced significantly higher than standard components. She wants her son to enjoy popular games like GTA V alongside flight simulators. For flight simulators, the key parts to focus on are a powerful graphics card, a fast CPU, or multiple cores depending on the model. Regarding the case, you might want options with a clean design, a transparent window, and a block view from the power supply area to manage cables efficiently. Let me know if you need more details!
Uncertain about the exact simulators you want to try... but the machine seems too weak. Sims typically need a lot of RAM and powerful CPUs with at least four cores. You might need a bigger budget if you're aiming for a smooth experience in your games (though this depends on the specific title). This setup is even close to being suitable for a decent GTA V run, depending on frame rates, resolution, and settings you choose. Plus, you're spending too much on the motherboard for features you won’t actually use.
I’d opt for a real quad-core processor, though it still appears solid. Have you thought about the budget-friendly Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 3 models arriving soon?
It seems there was a misunderstanding about the CPU type. The update to this version doesn’t improve performance for a K processor.
Similar to your initial project, but offers much better performance. Also available in a sleek black and white design. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/WktcKZ
