Come on, Dario. I know you know some better ones out there. LOL.gifI'm trying to stay less than $1,110. Here's my current TOTAL build:

Total: $921.90 without shipping and without video card.So, what do you think? Worth it? I checked the prices with Amazon and there were $5~$10 price differences that are not really worth buying separately.

Looks great. With this RAM you save $7, LOL. Really not much more you can add to improve performance in FSX.Add that EVGA GTX460 1GB and you're set

One thing I can't understand, why do a lot of people on this forum (including you, who is recommending a 2500k) have a 2600k? If Multi Threading is not a big deal now as most programs don't have it, is that 2MB really worth $100? :( Or, are people (like Zach was saying) being "macho"?Whatever. :Rolling Eyes:Question:The 460 I mentioned above seems like a new product; it has no reviews whatsoever. But also, there are 2 versions, a superclocked one for $159 and a non-superclocked for $149. Is it worth it to go those extra 10 for the super clocked? Here they are: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16814130749 and http://www.newegg.co...N82E16814130750Also, is it wise to buy something without looking at the reviews which there are none?Question:How about this 550ti? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130652 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127577 (cheaper than a 460!!!) or this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814133383 :( :( :Shocked:550tis are cheaper than I thought!

I ordered a I5 2500K + P8P67 Pro within days of the Sandy Bridge release. A couple of days later the store emailed me saying the had run out of 2500K stock, and they didn't know when it would be available. Waited a while and run out of patience so changed the order for a I7 2600K. I found a buyer for my old I5 750 + p7p55 and was without a computer, so that's why I have a 2600K.And get the 460, not the 550Ti. No need to get the superclocked version. If you want to overclock it you can do it yourself in seconds with MSI Afterburner for example

What's wrong with the 550ti? Isn't it a different chip? Also, is the one I showed you there (non super clocked) a new card? Is that why it has no reviews? Also, are AMD RADEONs bad for FSX?

Anyone? Dario?
Diego, as said before in this thread, the 550ti isn't a good card. The GTX 460 beats it, and you can get one used for cheaper. The. 560ti. Is. Better. Don't. Get. The. 550!!! Seriously though, the 550ti will disappoint.Nvidia has been using the numbering system's for years. The 8500 was the slowest "gamer" gfx card in it's generation. The 250 the slowest in it's. The 450... 550.

So I should go with this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130749But again, is it a new card?Also, is it hard to install the heatsink? (Hyper 212 Plus.)

A GTX460 is a GTX460. And EVGA are one of the best manufacturersI've heard the Hyper 212 is a bit hard to install, but I wouldn't worry too much about that.

What do you mean? It looks like a great card but nobody has it.... I'm worried. Also, the 6pin connectors of it are straight out instead out to the side. Do you think it can cause a problem when conencting power? I think I can make a 560, this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130660 It's a non-ti model. Is it any good? Also, the GTX460 I mentioned (according to EVGA) is quite an old model...
I've heard the Hyper 212 is a bit hard to install, but I wouldn't worry too much about that.
OMG! What now?!?!?! I'm a step away from pressing the "Pay safely with PayPal" button!
