July 9, 201114 yr Can anyone help me putting together a list of parts for a decent FSX rig? A couple of important points;1)They need to come from either http://www.ebuyer.com/ or http://www.overclockers.co.uk/ because I am in the UK. 2) The graphics card needs to be an nVidia one and off this list because of other needs for the computer; GeForce GTX 285 (Windows and Mac OS) GeForce GTX 470 (Windows) GeForce GTX 570 (Windows) GeForce GTX 580 (Windows) Quadro FX 3700M (Windows) Quadro FX 3800 (Windows) Quadro FX 3800M (Windows) Quadro FX 4800 (Windows and Mac OS) Quadro FX 5800 (Windows) Quadro 2000 (Windows) Quadro 2000D (Windows) Quadro 2000M (Windows) Quadro 3000M (Windows) Quadro 4000 (Windows and Mac OS) Quadro 4000M (Windows) Quadro 5000 (Windows) Quadro 5000M (Windows) Quadro 5010M (Windows) Quadro 6000 (Windows) Quadro CX (Windows)3) I already have hard drives and DVD/CD RW drives so they are not needed.4) My absolute max budget is around £700-800.This is a list I came up with. What do you think? Many thanks,Andy S
July 9, 201114 yr I would suggest CAS7 ram rather than CAS9. Other than that it looks good given the budget.Mark. Mark CYYZ
July 12, 201114 yr Everything looks great to me! @MarkW, what's wrong with the PSU? Must be brand because 750 is plenty! As for processor degrade it to the i5 2500k to save money. The i5 is practically the same chip as the i7 except without hyper threading (which FSX does not take advantage of). Ruben Schuckit i5 2500k 4.5GHz GTX 560 Ti 8GB memory
