snip - that was extremely long. :P

 

Remember that you're on a board heavily dominated by such enthusiast. At any rate, look at the comment you quoted of mine and remember to whom and why I made that comment.

 

I'll stay short to keep from hijacking this thread: I hate making compromises.

Holy mother! $3500??!! That's seriously the biggest PC rip-off I've ever seen. You could build that PC yourself for under 1000$. For $1250 you could have gotten a i7 2700K with a GTX 680.

 

What a rip-off. I've also made this mistake once a few years ago. Gotten an Acer PC for 1000$, it had an i7 860 and a GTX 320, I got told that the GTX 320 was a high-end card, and I didn't know anything about PC's at that moment,turns out it's crap.

 

Now I've got a PC that's worth around 1250$, and it runs FSX 3 times as good as that Acer PC.

 

My best tip? Put that PC on eBay, if you get 3000$ for it you can build a PC yourself that's way better and barely hafl the price. Yes you'll lose a lot of money, but it's the best solution.

 

With that PC, you can get better performance, but not MUCH better. If you have a good FSX.cfg you should be getting around 20 FPS in the same situation, but expect it too be laggy.

What do you guys think of this? Good price or over priced?

Man, for 3500$ I would have gladly built you the screamer computer and configured it myself and have it delivered to you, no matter where you live.

I've come back to this thread a few times, each time trying to figure out how to respond regarding $3500. Well done, Word Not Allowed! I couldn't agree more.

Where abouts are you located? I see that site is in Aus.

 

That's overpriced. You can pick up a 2700K for $339 AUD give or take including GST.

Yeah, me too. However, I can understand someone buying and paying too much like that when they are new to the hobby or advanced systems. What I don't get are those that diminish what overclocking and highly tuned modern systems will do.

Nothing unusual Stephen, nothing unusal. See it every day in my shop.

Sorry to do this again Word Not Allowed but you seem to have missed another signature rule change, yes its the second such change in a week or so.

By the way your hardware guide link is broken too.
