December 30, 201015 yr Hi I am looking at upgrading my PC, I have sort of decided what h/w except memory, not sure which is good for this mobo?Intel Core i7 950 3.06GHz Socket 1366 8MBAsus P6X58D-E X58 Socket 1366 Corsair 850W TX Series PSUMemory ????898MB XFX 260GTXKeeping some of my other stuff from present PCregardskrishan Gigabyte EP45-DS4 (F9) E8500 running at 4.1GHz 4G Dominator 1066 running at 1032MHz 898MB XFX 260GTX Vista 64-bit on VolictyRaptor 250GB KIS operating 1440 X 900
December 31, 201015 yr Don't get a GTX260. It's an old and outdated card. Get a GTX460 which performs a lot better. For the ram, I recommend a 6GB triple channel kit (3x2GB), low latency (CL6 or CL7) with a speed of 1600MHz. I'd stick with well known brands like mushkin, OCZ, Corsair, Kingston etc.
January 4, 201115 yr Looks like he's already got the 260 according to his sig. Not a bad card for FSX. Not the absolute best but FSX isn't a huge GPU hog so it will still handle pretty high settings. Rather than an i7 950 and an x58 board with 6GB RAM I'd recommend an 1155 board and an i7 2600k with 8GB RAM. Should be cheaper, faster, and more overclockable.
