Time to upgrade.

What do you guys think of this PC?  I won't be using VR as I plan to continue using a mouse.

Will this run other games like DCS and such if AH goes away in the future?

Any better alternatives?

For longevity the GTX1650 seems a bit underpowered, then again the next up with the 1660S is $200 more expensive. Based on benchmarks the 1650 is 40% weaker than the 1660 Super so there's quite big a difference.

Both should run AH with ease on a 60 Hz monitor up to 1440p, can't tell about more demanding games

Is this the one you mean?

[Bizman]

Yepp, that's the one.

Either will run AH really well with graphics sliders set to your own taste.

Pulled the trigger on the 2nd one with a new 27inch monitor.  I may give a joystick and vr a try too

The amount of suckage is going to be strong for awhile...

You need this stick man. Built in early 90's, still the best ever unless you want to spend hundreds on a really pro setup. You'll find one on ebay for $20 with no effort.

You trying to get me shot down more?

Always!

But genuinely, if you don't want to go full power on an expensive setup this old girl will see you good. I've only ever flown with this stick and absolutely love it.

The t1600m with its throttle was the best bang per buck b4 the covid price hike

Probably still is

Go vr and you will not go back

That is pretty reasonable.  What about VR?  Suggestions there?

I'm clueless on both.  I don't mind dumping some coin on a nice setup

[Bizman]

For VR even the GTX1660 Super is most likely too weak.

The 1060 on my older PC would start my Oculus RiftS but almost immediately lock up. I upgraded at the time to a 2060 6gb. It's been fine for AH max'd out. IL-2 I have to dial graphics settings back some. Clouds are really a killer there in VR. Thing is even that 2060 is on the ridiculous list these days. Going for double what I paid for it new. The whole GPU thing is gonna settle out soon.... Uhh.. Right?
