February 2, 201016 yr This is me first post so I guess Helloooooooooo!OK... So after having bought a few gaming PC's and being left dissapointed, I've decided to build my own. I'm not sure what the graphics would be like with my 'blueprint' so it's as follows: PSU 850W + Case & Fans Motherboard ASUS M4A77TD PRO 770 Socket AM3 8 channel audio ATX Processor/CPU AMD Phenom ii x4 965 Black Ed. 3.4GHz 8MB L2 Cache S. AM3 Graphics Sapphire HD 5750 1GB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDMI Display PCI-E RAM Corsair 2GB DDR3 1333MHz x 3 6GB Total HDD Samsung 3x EcoGreen F2 1.5TB Hard Drive SATAII 32MB Cache (4.5TB Total) Optical 24x Sony DVD+RW SATA Operating Sys Windows 7 ProfessionalI have no idea what the graphics would be althogh I could imagine they we're pretty powerful, however, I've heard that FSX can challenge the most powerful computers. Would I get good graphics on this set up for FSX? Not to mention the countless aircraft, scenery, traffic, etc add-ons that would be added to FSX with 1.5TB drive reserved for files.I have been reading a lot about X-Plane too... is it similar to MSFS or totally different?Would appreciate some advice and points in the right direction!Happ Simmin :)
February 2, 201016 yr I'm gonna keep this simple so, on max settings with that system, most likely, slideshow. The only computers that handle fsx on max settings smoothly, are i7's like mine. A highly OC'd Core 2 Quad may run it ok, but with stutters. BTW I'm running at 1080p so if you're running a lower res. Expect better performance.
