April 17, 201214 yr I know I'm being a jerk (lately?) but IB is not the 3rd generation Intel core chips. It's just a tick, not a new generation
April 17, 201214 yr I don't want to wait for IB anyway, i can easily upgrade this configuration later. Thanks The memory standard for that board: DDR3 2200(O.C.) / 2133(O.C.) / 1866(O.C.) / 1600 / 1333 / 1066 Thanks a lot for that Zeljko Budovic

June 19, 201213 yr Commercial Member hold steady, When you get a decent cpu cooler [dark rock pro is my suggestion], you need LOW PROFILE RAM, or it wont fit ;). The cpu cooler isn't great, try and go for the above I would go with the sandybridge over the IVY, I bought mine 2weeks ago. IVY bridge needs more volts and doesn't overclock as well, which FSX really benefits from. Also, ASUS boards are better than gigabyte in my opinion, I would go with the P8Z77. 560 Is ok, try and squeeze to a 670. Alex Alex Ridge Join Fswakevortex here! YOUTUBE and FACEBOOK
June 19, 201213 yr Are you really asking us our opinion on which DVD drive you should have? And I suppose the numerous treads suggesting that there is no point in getting an i7 obviously passed you by. Paul Smith.
June 20, 201213 yr Paul, Im a complete rookie when it comes to constructing a computer so I need all the help I can get. As for the I7 threads, you are completely right and I apologise. Alex, What do you mean by Low profile ram??

June 20, 201213 yr I agree with you Dazz, I'm upgrading my machine in the next 2-4 weeks. I'll be using an I5 Ivy and the fastest Ram I can get my hands on. Already got a 570 GPU so I'll keep that, throw in a 120gb SSD for FSX and a H100 Corsair cooler. Gotta say though my Original I7 920 oc @ 4ghz has done me proud the last 2 years. That was the CPU that really set FSX alight Phil Mosley - Rotation Films http://youtube.com/rotationfsx @RotationFilms
