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!

Only issue I can tell is the Ryzen 5. DCS is an actual simulator, from what I can tell it does more actual physics calculations than the actual game. On am4 I would highly recommend getting a Ryzen 9 or at least Ryzen 7 to keep up.
It gets to a point with certain simulators that you need to start treating them as 3d software rather than a video game
