So my computer just fried and my motherboard burnt and is nothing now. I was able to save the Graphics Card and Hard Drive but everything else pretty much burnt up. So I was wondering how all of you experts of computers will think how my computer will run FSX.Specs:CPU:Intel Core i7-930 Bloomfield 2.8GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80601930Motherboard:MSI X58A-GD45 LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel MotherboardGraphics Card:Nividia Geforce 9800 GTXMempry: (2) Kingston 2GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) Desktop Memory Model KVR1066D3/2GRHard Drive:not sure I am still using my old one.So what do you all think. Also let me know if I forgot something!!!!

Overclock the CPU to 4.2 GHz with good cooling and you've got yourself a stinker.

Well if you can get ahold of a Sandy Bridge motherboard, I'd recommend an i5-2500k processor. Go check out the hardware forum - there are several guys including myself who have purchased Sandy Bridge systems. Some of them even upgraded from sockeet 1366 systems and still saw noticeable improvements with 1155 hardware.
