Insane build Rodney! Love the white case and white PSU. Thanks for sharing!

[dazz 69]

Yeah, loving the black & white theme too!

I agree! My next build is going to be built with parts that have some theme.

What?!? 3 way SLI?!? :cray: :cray: :cray:

I wonder how much in terms of FSX these two CPU´s are worth. I´ve heared that it won´t make any real difference. Is that right?

Very cool Nabarun!Not bad at all for a first post :) Welcome

Very nice! I have those cathodes too! :Nerd:

That is what I am going to find out. They said that FSX is CPU hungry, then they say its hungry for RAM, and then they say its hungry for Video RAM.... different sites has different aspects on how FSX should run.So, I now have 2 CPUs, 24 GBs of RAM, running FSX on a 120GB SSD.... and I am going to buy 3 GTX 550 ti (2GB RAM per card). Then I want to see what excuse they can come up with. :Nerd:

Get one single very powerful GPU. FSX hates multi-GPU setups.

This is a hot topic here in the hardware forums Rodney, and one where almost everybody agrees. FSX is CPU bound, but not in a way that will take advantage of an SR-2 system.You are adding cores that FSX won't use, at the expense of raw speed, that FSX loves. So I'm afraid you'll be extremely disappointed.FSX doesn't benefit from more than 3 cores, it's much better to have a fast quad core and overclock itSame goes for multi-GPU as Ben explained

But Dario people play other games.... I'm sure that FSX isn't the only game Rodney plays.

Even then, games don't use that many cores. Of course SLI will do wonders in most of those games
