In reply to gencollon Ok thank you.
Thanks for all the help everyone, this year my parents have agreed to split the cost on a skytch mini Chronos gaming PC for Christmas.
In reply to 09Unwound :
FYI, direct from Skytech seems to be the best pricing on their computers, and watch their site for deals.
In reply to Rodan :
Alright
Little update here:
The skytech PC has been great. I have upgraded storage and RAM. I plan to upgrade my CPU to a Intel 11th gen 11900kf and still not sure what GPU I plan to upgrade to.
In reply to 09Unwound :
You should upgrade the GPU first, CPU power isn't a bottleneck to gaming performance these days.
In reply to GameboyRMH :
huh, ok. Thanks for the advice man!
Better yet, use a tool to analyze where your bottleneck is.
There are games that are much more CPU demanding, but the vast majority load the GPU more and would be GPU limited in your setup.
Is this what is in the PC you got?
Intel Core-i3 10100F 3.6GHz, GTX 1650 4G
In reply to TravisTheHuman :
yup thats correct. for games like BeamNG im 99% sure the cpu is the bottleneck for that just because of the large mass of stuff it has to load.,
yeah BeamNG is an absolute CPU hog. Good luck with that
My computer can pretty much run any game fairly comfortably on low or medium graphics but sometimes I still have to worry about it. Or I have to worry about multiplayer sim games which usually has the cpu holding my pc back but im sure the gpu is doing some of that to. one of my friends recommend I wait for the Nvidia 50 series to come out so the 40 series gpus will be less expensive.
In reply to TravisTheHuman :
Lol thanks, It really is. im thinking 11th gen 11900kf should do fine. (I really don't want to replace my motherboard, not that its a great motherboard or anything I just don't want to. ps. The motherboard is holding it back from the cpu being anything more than an 11th gen)

Wait for the 60 series, then the 50 series will be less expensive 
In reply to TravisTheHuman :
lol will always be true
I am running on stuff that is 5 years old and I don't really have a need for my HP I am running an AMD 3700X (I think) and a 4060 with 16gb ram. Due to my weird obsession with trying to keep power consumption down this at the moment workers very well with a total max watts for the PC at about 175-200 (65 for the CPU and I think the SFF 4060 GPU I have is 110.
Also a RTX 4060 should net you about a 100 percent improvement over a GTX 1660
$$$ versus performance the 4060 is a very good option. I just looked and you can get the Zotac for about $290. I am using the low-profile one from Gigabyte. COsts a couple more $$$ but I needed it as I am using a very small case.
GIGABYET 4060 on Amazon (Low Profile Card)
In reply to dean1484 : thats very helpful thanks! I also have a small case. Ive heard that price to performance on the 4060s are less then others from that series or the 30 series. The 4060 would definitely be an upgrade though.
OK. What would you guys recommend for a motherboard and a CPU for running Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 and X-Plane 12 without paying stupid money. I already have the case and a bunch of other parts. I also want to do some video editing.
In reply to Snowdoggie (Forum Supporter) :
I really have never optimized a build for that but you can use cpu benchmark and reddit to help with what you would need. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable cones along here. Good luck!
