March 21, 201313 yr I have a 4 yr old comp. I am going to rebuild as per. would like your input ( keep it decent ) PARTS I WILL KEEP NEW PARTS Thermaltake Tr2-rx case full tower Asus mobo p8z77-v-delux Thermaltake 850 black widow PS i7 3770 3.5 signature series Asetek 120mm water cooler Nvidia gtx 660 ti 2gb super clocked 500gb sata ll 3.0 gb 7200HDD 730 gb seagate 7200 HDD Sony 20x DVDRW 8gb G.skill (2x4) DDR3 2133 sniper CL9 ram Nvidia 560 gtx Nvidia 470 gtx I run a 7 monitor cockpit this is why I have three graphic cards.
March 21, 201313 yr SSD would be on my list, either Samsung 830 or 840 Pro (not the standard 840). Any reason for the 2133 RAM and not 2400?
March 21, 201313 yr > i7 3770 3.5 signature series 3770k is what you want unless you don't plan on overclocking Definitely add a SSD, IMO for the OS, makes everyday use much nicer.
March 22, 201313 yr Ditto! You have to get the "K" version of the 3770 for overclocking and strongly consider placing Fsx in its own dedicated hard drive in its own folder. SSD's are quickly becoming a mass product. Makes no sense IMHO to purchase another 7200 RPM spinner drive
March 22, 201313 yr Author Thanks for your replies, I only work with fs9, spent 2yrs with fsx never happy. I left the k out of the 3770. Only use this comp for fs9 never on the web, Only keeping the exist HDD for the files on it. No special reason for ram 2133. Second thoughts about the asus mobo p8z77 3.5 read about problems with them. Thinking about the evga z77 FTW board. Have a 30gb ssd came with comp not large enough.
March 22, 201313 yr There are lots of happy P8Z77-V owners out there myself included (Pro version) I've never read or heard any negative comments about them.
April 6, 201313 yr Author well, all installed working like a watch. used the pro mobo, not the delux. could not use the water cooler back plate glued to board. new dvd player, old one ied model .tried to use exist hdd, not good, fresh win7 64 install new hdd.ok.( no beep cant find speaker ) Thanks to all of you.
