I am aware, and I repeat my question.
I imagine entry level as slightly more comfortable than the cheapest hardware out there. 16GB DDR4 RAM is >€100. Motherboard, CPU, PSU all likely around that price too. CPU cooler €60 GPU €200. That all comes down to ~€600
Case €50. Monitor €150. HOTAS another €100.
Keyboard and mouse… if flight SIM is the primary concern I guess you don’t really need to spend on those.
Everything so far comes down to €960.
I suppose it can still be done… probably even cheaper than this is you hunt around for deals/second hand, I didn’t care to spend too much time looking up each individual component. When I did look up the DDR4 price I figured I might as well spend a bit more time; I didn’t bother going back so this comment is a bit all over the place. Also I’m assuming you’re not buying windows.
A server browser/community servers would also open up a lot.
But that might also mean newly discovered exploits/RCE vulnerabilities may go unpatched after support is dropped.
