Hi Pakgamers,
A brief background, I have never been a PC gamer however due to my passion for aviation, I intend to buy a machine for MS Flight Simulator 2020. I intend to play it in Full HD (won't be moving towards the 4K side as of yet).

I have two options:-
1. Get a gaming Laptop (Razer/MSI/Alienware) something with a RTX 2070 or RTX 3070 8 GB and an i7 intel chip.
Pros:
-All in one package
-Can be easily brought from US/Dubai (easy to carry)
Cons:
-Might not be future proof after 2023 (considering I only intend to run Flight Simulator 2020)
-EXPENSIVE as hell


2. Custom Built PC with an AMD or Intel Chip and an RTX 2080 Ti or RTX 3080.
Pros:
-Cheaper (or I can get a better CPU & GPU for the equivalent price of a laptop)
-Futureproof and easy to upgrade
-Better cooling performance
Cons
-Zero experience in gaming PCs. Like assembling it.etc is too much work.
-Want to avoid bottle-necks (a ready-made laptop/pc ensures its optimised)
-Zero Tech Savy-ness to check heating/cooling paste.etc issues


What should I do? If I invest 300-350K in a gaming PC or 400-450K in a gaming laptop. What do you guys suggest? I just find it a bit off to spend 400K+ on a gaming machine lol. Please guide a noob gamer out

    Is it just me or people lately seem to defend every bad game design decision made by the devs and try to give bullshit reasons for that? Or perhaps it's because I'm on reddit and discord :ROFLMAO:
