Im interested in buying a new computer (since the current plays the NGX at 6 fps, and the default 737, at the lowest settings, at 10), and im considering a Digital Storm ODE computer. Here are the specs:Chassis Model: Special Deal Hot Seller - Pre-built Digital Storm ODE Level 1Exterior Finish: White Exterior Paint FinishTrim Accents: - Standard Factory FinishProcessor: Intel Core i7 2600K 3.40GHz (Unlocked CPU for Extreme Overclocking) (Quad Core)Motherboard: ASUS P8P67 LE (Intel P67 Chipset) (New B3 Revision) (Does Not Support SLI)System Memory: 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Corsair XMS3 Series (High-Performance)Power Supply: 600W Corsair CX600 V2Hard Drive Set 1: Operating System: 1x (1TB Hitachi/Seagate (7200 RPM) (32MB Cache)Optical Drive 1: DVD-R/RW/CD-R/RW (DVD Writer 24x / CD-Writer Internet Access: High Speed Network Port (Supports High-Speed Cable / DSL / Network Connections)Video Card(s): 1x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 1.2GB (Includes PhysX Technology)Sound Card: Integrated Motherboard AudioExtreme Cooling: AIR: Stage 2: Corsair A70 Dual 120mm Fans High Performance CoolerChassis Airflow: Standard Factory Chassis FansInternal Lighting: Internal Chassis Lighting System CPU Boost: Stage 1: Overclock CPU 4.0GHz to 4.4GHzWindows OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (64-Bit Edition)Recovery Tools: Windows Recovery Toolkit (Bundled with Windows 7 CD)I know it is not the best one available, but i find it a great Package for 1500 bucks. Now, does anybody (including Ryan) have any suggestions Or comments? How do you think it will run in FSX? Any comments are appreciated!Eduardo Rubini

That's actually a strong system. Have you referred to the dozens of other posts made about new systems in the past day or two? The advice in those are mostly good for you, too.

The system is very similar to the one I just built and you will be very happy with it. One suggestion I might add is another hard drive just for FS. I use an SSD, but maybe a 10,000 rpm veliciraptor. It wont increase FPS but it greatly helps with blurry ground textures and load times.

That looks powerful, maybe just a little more voltage too be safe if you plan on overclocking. Those 570's like power, although you are only getting one.

You're right - I was thinking the same thing. It's probably okay, but I dont know if I would rely on "probably."

The one in my sig is worth $1500 AUD so thats about $1300 USD, I know that is not the exchange rates for things but I did my system on newegg.com last night and it was $1300, so with that you would make upgrades on storage and RAM depending on what you want. As for running FSX, once tweaked and all it should be able to run pretty well but tweaking takes ages.

If I may ask, is the price of my system ok? Because since you build your own, I would just like a reference on pricing...Thank you,Eduardo Rubini

Any motherboard with LE should be avoided. Change the i7-2600k to an i5-2500k, then use the $100 you saved there to change that motherboard to a Asus P8Z68-V motherboard.The PSU is okay. You won't be getting any extreme overclocking from that. Ignore what was said about the 570 being power hungry, the 570 is actually quite efficient compared to the old 480 and other GPUs of similar performance. If you can, try going for a 700W PSU.

I should get a wattage monitor thing up to my PC and check it out. i have no doubt it would be nice and efficient.

They're far more efficient than the 480 that's for sure.

You shouldn't forget that the 480 does have more VRam and other little bits and pieces to run resulting in more power but I am also sure the 570 would have its fair share of areas where it passes the 480. its just the newer technology I guess.

And it's been proven in benchmarks that the 570 is marginally better than the 480.

Yes, I did see a lot of them but you would expect it to be. Its usually the 570 repaces the 480, 560 replaces the 470. If you see what I mean.

And they create a new one which blows the rest out the water :(

The 590!

And the 580 for single GPUs
