December 27, 201213 yr wife said I can get a new computer, budget max is $2000. My question for help is I have only used fs9 and I want to bring it to its knees ,but I may be interested in fsx. What specs would you folks recommend to accomplish what I am looking for. Thanks

December 27, 201213 yr Commercial Member Is it ONLY fos simming? If yes, go with the second post's system but drop it to 8GB RAM, get a 750W power supply and with that extra money, switch the 256GB SSD to a 512GB SSD. If it's not a simming only PC, leave the memory at 16GB but you can still drop the power supply to 750W. That is more than enough unless you want to go with a SLI setup in the future. - Sent from my rooted, Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus LTE smartphone via Tapatalk because haters gonna hate.
