Over the years (many of them), I have found that the key to CPU/GPU performance is balance. I have built many computers in my lifetime, but due to an illness during which my last one quit on me, I went to Best Buy and bought an OMEN 30L Desktop GT13-1XXX which came with a Ryzen 5 5600G and a RTX 3060. There may be better, but for the price ($1200+ back then), it is hard to beat. Using ULTRA all the way, it consistently runs at 55/60 FPS. The GTX cards have come down in price since the release of the 4000 series, and the 3060 and the 3060ti appear to be under $400. The 3060 has 12 GB of Ram which is never used in MSFS. Go for balance and you’ll be happy.
