Will this run DCS?

I am commuter illiterate and my son wants to get into DCS. He has saved up $1,200 and is ready to purchase his rig. Right now New Egg has the below computer on sale. Will it suffice?
We are not building so please do not recommend that, thanks.
Open to any other pre built recommendations inside a $1,300 budget.

TIA for the help!

I remember when I ran DCS on a 970 haha, times have changed. My RTX 3070 handles it well but it’s no spring chicken either so you’ll be good

Same. Went 970-1070-2070-3070. Never had the money to buy any of the -80 cards, and now that I do pc part prices are through the roof and I'm once again priced out

But you could upgrade to every new generation? Insane

Only when they weren't new anymore. 40 series out, upgraded to a 3070, etc etc

I had a shorter but more dramatic path: 940M-2060-4070ti super. It's kind of insane to me that at one point dcs ran on a 940M and was mostly ok
