OK.. I already ordered the ATX Cooler Master full tower case and 950Watt PC Cooling and Power block.However, I am not sure which is the best platform to go withWait for the Z77 1155 Ivy Bridge around April or go with the today's most powerful X79 LGA 2011 with i7-3930K Sandy - EThe way I build system, it may as well take until March before I finish building anyway... so the time is not as much an issue as the the things in Z77. Would they really matter for FSX?Quad channel memory and all the other things... would it matter to FSX?FSX is the primary...maybe even the only criteria. Manny

3,661 posts and you couldn't find the HW section Kidding but the mods will move this over I'm sure...

Hi Manny,The 2011 socket does not seem be an advantage in FSX over the early Sandy Bridges, at least from the objective evidence analysed so far. It is all laid out for you in the Hardware section. The mods will either move this thread or remove it, as we are not supposed to discuss hardware here.Kind regards,
