May 17, 201214 yr How about this set up? Asking again: did you read the "READ BEFORE POSTING"? Apparently you signed on the forum, asked your question without even bothering to search/read a little. You are very welcome to AVSIM forums, but we do appreciate when a user at least tries. RAM - no go CPU - depends GPU - questionable PSU - questionable
May 17, 201214 yr I will be going with the specs below. I don't need to have 50 FPS i just need FSX to run smoothly enough to play. How will this do?

May 17, 201214 yr Faster ram. Why IB? You want smooth fsx? Planing on overclocking? Where is 3rd party cooler? Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
May 17, 201214 yr Not planning to overclock as of now. The ram is not good enough? Do I need a 3rd party cooler if i don't overclock?
May 17, 201214 yr Well, you only said for "FSX". For a default FSX a dual core with mediocre GPU is enough. What addons are you planing on using? Not planing to overclock for FSX is a bad idea in general. Correct: RAM is too slow. Asking third time, why don't you read here: http://forum.avsim.net/topic/370594-read-before-posting-software-hardware-guide-for-fsx/ Want to get FSX running OK, without much problems? Then you have to read that. Do I need a 3rd party cooler if i don't overclock? No.
May 17, 201214 yr I plan on running FSX with a few scenery add-onbs like FlyTampa FSDT and things like that.
May 17, 201214 yr So you want high quality addons, you want FSX to perform well (no, I am not talking 50fps, that is virtually impossible in FSX on a long run, even on computers like mine or similar)... You won't come aside overclocking. Why IB and why PCIEx2 card? I wouldn't go IB. You can omit OC, get an IB, and later have temperature problems if you decide to OC.
May 17, 201214 yr Why are you getting an Ivy Bridge processor over Sandy Bridge? Why not 2700K? I think I'll let someone else answer this though. You apparently don't even care for reading my guide, which answers at least half of your questions.

May 17, 201214 yr Air France mon ami, if I were you I'll wait another 6 months < > before buying IB and a GPU, the board are not ready for the PCI-e 3.0, they will get better implementation, the GPU will also get a LOT better with the GTX 685, the rams will also get better. Up to you if you have to have it now, it's your money....good luck.

May 17, 201214 yr Bonjour! I've been waiting for about 3 years to buy a new PC......You can never wait enough i guess but now is the time for me :) I understand, keep us up to date on how well FSX run on your setup. Bonne chance.
