I’ve slowly been buying bits and pieces for my MSFS build, and now I’m stuck on which GPU and CPU would give me the best bang for buck for around $1000 total?

I’m settled on an AMD processor (the motherboard I bought is for AMD), but that’s about all. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

  Expired but if you want to bargain hunt in the future, here are previous prices.

  Ryzen 5 5600X $375.18 ($481 - 12% cashback - 10% off Zip pay) @ Amazon
  EVGA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti XC $709 @ PLE

  Total $1083.18, Little over your budget but worth it if you can find similar deal.

    Is the Ryzen 5 a better option than the Ryzen 7 which is not too much more?

      Ryzen 7 3700X? Ryzen 5 5600X is certainly better for gaming.
