Which Pc is Best fit for NGX / FSX. Addons used with Fsx will be :- Rex v2, Orbx, Pmdg, Traffic X, FS2Crew.Core i7 2600KAsus P8P67 B38GB G.Skill RipjawsGTX 580 1536MBCorsair Hydro H70Seagate Momentus XT Hybrid HDD/SSD$2300Core i5 2500K Asus P8P67 B38GB G.Skill RipjawsGTX 570 1280MBCorsair Hydro H70Seagate Momentus XT Hybrid HDD/SSD$2000G'day from Australia Captains, just after a bit of advice for a new NGX rig, it will be primarly used for Fsx. The comparison is between the I7 and I5 rigs above that are nearly identical, Is there any reason to pay the extra for the I7 with GTX 580 vs the I5 with GTX 570, both will be water cooled and are overclocked to 4.8ghz. Will the I7 costing $300 moregive any better FPS or performance in Fsx. Money is not really an issue just after the best performance possible, with a bit of future proofing possibly for MS Fligh laterdown the road. Thanks in advance for any help, Happy flying.

When money is not the problem, I would go for the i7. Can be clocked a bit higher and is more futureproof (if MS Flight can utilisize virtual cores).

I agree with Steffen.

Thanks for the advice guys, appreciate it, looking forward to burning some holes in the sky with the NGX, pitty about the carbon tax coming here in Australia its going to cost a forture
