May 31, 201412 yr Hi all! It's time for an upgrade as I want to start to indulge in the full opportunities of flight simulation. In about a week or two I will be purchasing the following: Digital Storm ODE v3 Intel Core i5 4670k 3.40 GHz (OC to 4.4GHz) ASUS H81M Kingston HyperX 8GB-1600MhZ 600W Corsair CX600 1x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB Standard Factory Cooling & Heatsink Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Total price is $1503 will be buying with PayPal soon. Good deal? Comes with 24" monitor, and keyboard/mouse. What are your theoretical opinions - how will it run in a payware aircraft (PMDG 737NGX) at pay ware airport (LatinVFR TJSJ) with high settings, REX, Shade, etc? FPS... Looking forward to feedback, suggestions, etc
May 31, 201412 yr Sorry, but you've got some entry level components in that config... A $70 motherboard.. better an Asus Z87-A or Pro (at $150). If you can upgrade the video card to a 760, I would pay the difference.. the 750 is an entry level card. Not sure how you get to 4.4 GHz with "standard cooling and heatsink" though.. 4.0 maybe, but 4.4?? Even at 4.0, that configuration (on a Z87 motherboard and a 760) will run FSX quite well! Bert
June 1, 201412 yr Author Updated to Z97 Plus, would the GTX 750 Ti have a major difference from the 760 in terms of performance or graphics capability? Update: I opted for the 760
June 1, 201412 yr If your budget allows it, got for one or two ssds like the crucial m500 or samsung eve (one for windows, on for Flight Sim)
