I am just about to close a deal on a new build myself since my 3 year old system is showing some weakness.

Hoss you need to spend a few more Coronas to spring for that 4770.

 

Btw what about a video card?

I think Mike has a GTX780 already.

 

I went with the 4770K because of the larger cache size.  I will disable hyperthreading in the bios since it does not help FSX.

Probably should get the 4770K now I am at it. Already got the GTX 780 though.

With a rig like that, Jeff's going to be flying faster than the rest of us!!

 

Glad you're back up and running though.

I just noticed that, too, but thought I might just be imagining it.

 

Glad to hear your're sorted, Jeff.  Now I've got a hankering for a dedicated FSX build.  See what you guys started...

Know what you mean Nick. Just put in an order for a new system that I will build slowly while using my present one for the race.

Looks very good Mike!!!   I have updated my PC in my profile. 

 

My new system arrived yesterday and the hardware checks out OK.  I have started FSX installation & configuration.  Core FSX Gold installed and registered.  I will install my scenery addons first, then aircraft addons, then all other addons.  Scenery Installation has started.  FS Genesis mesh, UTX USA & Europe, and half of the Orbx regions installed but many hours of installation are ahead.

 

I will put up some pics later.
