Finally my new system which bought in a few weeks. What do you say???Cheers, Jerome

That looks like a sweet system and that Vid card is more than enough. As you can see by my specs, i have the 560Ti and only one Gig which gives me great performance.Enjoy.Regards,

The most performance should be given from the CPU, not???How many FPS do you have with your PMDG NGX and sceneries???Cheers

I use an external FPS limiter (Antilag) set to 30FPS and set to Unlimited in FSX and i get 30FPS, usually fluctuating up and down 1 or 2 FPS.Addons: REX2, UTX-USA, UTX-CAN, ORBIX-PNW, FLIGHTBEAM-KSFO, BLUEPRINT-CYYZ, EAROSOFT-EHAM, UT2, TRACKIR, EZCA etc.I do get the ocassional momentary dip to the mid 20s if taxiing around traffic and buildings at addon airports, but in general i get around the 30FPS i am limited to.

Sounds pretty nice. 17-20 FPS is fluently in FSX, not?We have the same system, my CPU will be 2700k and overclocked like you.I hope, everything is well after installing FSX and NGX. Thanks alot. Cheers

for fsx its all about the computer speed he overclock, helps to have a nice video card especially from nividia and get to around 4,5 ghz and you willl be fine. All the hardware and sofrtware have to match, you want no bottlemecks, cause that when things get a bit flaky.

Okay, the system is bought, I hope I will enjoy the NGX very soon !?!?!

hey guys, i am thinking about getting a system aswell!! I want the freedom to be able to get rex, scenery and ngx and get good fps!!! So this is what i was thinking:Intel Core i7-2700K 3.5GHz LGA1155 8MB 95WAsrock P67 PRO3 SE Socket 1155 8 Channel HD Audio ATX Motherboard Corsair Memory TX750 V2 750W ATX Enthusiast seriesXFX HD 6870 900MHz 1GB GDDR5 Dual DVI Dual Mini DisplayPort HDMI PCI-E Graphics CardCorsair Vengeance 8GB (2x 4GB) DDR3 1600MHz PC3-12800 240-pin CL8 Non-ECC Unbuffered Memory Kit WD 500GB 3.5" SATA 6Gb/s Caviar Blue Hard Drive - 7200RPM 16MB CacheIntel Core i7-2700K 3.5GHz LGA1155 8MB 95WAsrock P67 PRO3 SE Socket 1155 8 Channel HD Audio ATX Motherboard Corsair Memory TX750 V2 750W ATX Enthusiast seriesXFX Radeon HD 6870 900MHz 1GB GDDR5 Dual DVI Dual Mini DisplayPort HDMI PCI-E Graphics CardCorsair Vengeance 8GB (2x 4GB) DDR3 1600MHz PC3-12800 240-pin CL8 Non-ECC Unbuffered Memory Kit WD 500GB 3.5" SATA 6Gb/s Caviar Blue Hard Drive - 7200RPM 16MB Cache (2 of them, 1 purely for fsx, scenery ngx etc... and the other one for os and storage

No point in going a 2700K over a 2500K, or even the 2600K. It's just throwing money away for a few hundred extra Mhz.I'd forget about the P67 and go with the newer P68 chipset. A bit more solid. Personally I'd go with a nVidia card over ATI, but that's just me. Something like a GTX570 would be great.

ok are you saying to get the 2500k and oc witgh a decent cooler. Also are you saying that the P67 is bad or that there are just newer models out

I think price wise, the 2500K is better. There won't be any noticeable difference between the 2700K and 2500K as far as FSX goes. The only difference you notice will be the price.The P67 isn't bad. I just feel the P68 is a little more solid, as well as slightly newer.

How many capacity should the SSD have is 128GB okay or needs the FSX more than 128GB, maybe 256GB??Thx Jude, Jerome

Ive got fsx on a 128gig ssd. This is actually a bit small if you like lots of addons. I can't quite fit everything id like to on there - orbx is the main space user that needs to be in the default directory.Note that i put everything thats not necessary to have in the fsx folder on a separate hdd. Ive got 800gig of addons on a fast 1tb drive. But if youre feeling rich get a 256gig ssd - thats what id do if rebuilding right now.

looking at your specs, yes the i7 is more money but....you have overclocked it, which will make the performance very good, now what i am also saying is that, i have a head start because the i5 will go out of date before the i7
