Yup that's pretty low considering that it is brand new and that the monitor, keyboard, and mouse is 400$ :P.So this isn't exactly for FSX but more for other games such as ARMA 2 and the new and coming Battlefield 3. I think it will preform well but I was wondering how it would do with FSX. My other build stated in my sig is well being used by my family more than me so I might as well get another computer just for me. So what do you think? is this a good build and how would this preform ? Thanks, Keep on flying

August 25, 201114 yr That's a decent setup , I expect you to get between 30-50 fps on stock FSX but I feel it should be decent even with add ons and with some nice OC and tweak. And better use Bojote's shader 3.0 for ATI. Ryzen 5 1600x - 16GB DDR4 - RTX 3050 8GB - MSI Gaming Plus
August 26, 201114 yr Author Alright so should I pull the trigger and is there any thing that I should upgrade with the money I save with this computer? Keep on flying

August 26, 201114 yr Run as well as 1500.00 computer. the BE AMD's overclock nicely. Buy yourself some nice addons with the savings. can you tell me your specs and what addons are you currently using. Ryzen 5 1600x - 16GB DDR4 - RTX 3050 8GB - MSI Gaming Plus
August 26, 201114 yr Author Not sure if the question was targeted towards me but I use REX, also soon to come GEX and UTX, and for aircraft I have the QW 757, Wilco airbus vol 2, and the PMDG NGX.again sorry if it wasn't targeted towards me. Keep on flying
August 26, 201114 yr Run as well as 1500.00 computer. the BE AMD's overclock nicely. Buy yourself some nice addons with the savings. Pure nonsense. A $1500 system will smoke this thing, if you're spending that money on actual performance parts (i.e. CPU and GPU). That being said, this system will hold its own in FSX. Don't expect to max out the settings, but it will certainly run.
