January 23, 201214 yr Hi My Comp is somewhat old about two years. With low settings in FSX I get around 10-20 FPS. I am saving my money to buy a new comp. I’m am 16, my birthday is today. I would like to know what people recommend for a new comp specs, (processor, memory, graphic card, etc.)? My budget is $400 or less. ThanksPS where is the best place online to buy the parts for a new comp.

January 23, 201214 yr First, Happy Birthday .... relish your youth.Second, $400 isn't going to do much in terms of a completely new computer. Since you didn't mention your current rig, perhaps it might be possible to upgrade your cpu, motherboard, and memory. That will more than eat up your budget.www.newegg.comAMD is much less expensive than Intel, however the performance will suffer, as well.I'm sure others will chime in.Good Luck Dennis Trawick Screen Shot Forum Rules

January 23, 201214 yr Your prolly gunna have to upgrade your MB, CPU, and memory to make an upgrade worth it. U might be able to do it for around $500. I5/I7, 8 gig ram, MB of your choice that u can overclock with. Matt Wilson
