Major Computer Upgrade - Need Suggestions

Recommended Posts

Hi Ryan,

 

Here is what I just put together. Jim Rhoads with Flight1 sent a suggested parts list and I followed Nick Needham's setup guide to the tee. I have never experienced FSX working this smoothly, you already have some components you can reuse but would highly recommend running FSX on a dedicated velociraptor.

For the $10 price difference I'd agree to get the 2700K. Research shows they are more than likely the same with a higher tolerance in bin selection: http://www.mmo-champion.com/threads/1042043-i7-2600k-vs-2700k
