July 18, 201411 yr Hi All, looking for feedback on my first try at putting together an FSX build The usage will be in running FSX gold. Also the sim's primary purpose will be to augment real world flight training (sport ticket) Looking at purchasing through either ibuypower or cyberpowerpc. Both builders offer a huge choice of mobos and video cards, so it's a bit overwhelming.. I started with some common advice I've gathered from these forums - a Z97 mobo and a 4790K CPU - powersupply needed? the configurator says 500 watts is sufficient - mobo - went with Asus - I've had great luck with them in my custom builds - video don't want to go too crazy - maybe just some basic addons like textures and weather and GA a/c - most likely no crazy PMDG NGX with dense city addons. I assume 2gig memory is sufficient? - if budget for only one disk - still go ssd and put os and fsx on it? 7/17/2014 CyberPowerPC Inc http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/saving/print.aspx 1/2 CyberPower Z97 i7 Configurator (NO MONITOR) $1213 *BASE_PRICE: [+859] Gaming Chasis: CyberPow erPC X-Titan 100 MID-Tow er Gaming Case w / Side-Window Panel [-64] (White Color) Laser Engraving: None Laser Engraving Message: Neon Light Upgrade: None Extra Case Fans: Default case fans Noise Reduction Technology: None CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-4790K 4.0 GHz 8MB Intel Smart Cache LGA1150 (All Venom OC Certified) [+40] CPU / Processor Cooling Fan: Asetek 510LC 120mm Liquid Cooling CPU Cooler - Enhance Cooling Performance (Single Standard 120MM Fan) Coolant for Cyberpower Xtreme Hydro Water Cooling Kits: Standard Coolant Motherboard: ASUS Z97-PRO (Wi-Fi ac) ATX w / Intel GbLAN, 3 PCIe x16, 4 PCIe x1, 1 x M.2, 1 x SATA Express, 6x SATA 6Gb/s (All Venom OC Certified) [+151] NFC: None Freebies: None Intel Smart Response Technology: None RAM / System Memory: 8GB (4GBx2) DDR3/1866MHz Dual Channel Memory (ADATA XPG V2) Video Card: * NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 2GB GDDR5 PCIe 3.0 x16 Video Card [+107] (Single Card) Freebies: None Power Supply: 500 Watts - EVGA 80 PLUS Bronze Certified Pow er Supply [+16] Hard Drive: 1TB SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 32MB Cache 7200RPM HDD (Single Drive) Secondary Hard Drive: None Hard Drive Cooling Fan: None External Storage: None USB Flash Drive: None Optical Drive: 24X Double Layer Dual Format DVD+-R/+-RW + CD-R/RW Drive (BLACK COLOR) Optical Drive 2: None External Optical Drive: None Sound: HIGH DEFINITION ON-BOARD 7.1 AUDIO NVIDIA 3D Vision Glasses: None LCD Monitor: None 2nd Monitor: None 3rd Monitor: None Speakers: None Internal Network Card: Onboard Gigabit LAN Netw ork Keyboard: AZZA Multimedia USB Gaming Keyboard Mouse: AZZA Optical 1600dpi Gaming Mouse w ith Weight Adjustable Cartridge Mouse Pad: None Headset: None Gaming Gear: None Fan Controller/Temperature Display: None Internal USB Expansion Module: None Internal Wireless Network Card: None Website: www.cyberpowerpc.com Call Us at: (800) 707-03937/17/2014 CyberPowerPC Inc http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/saving/print.aspx 2/2 External Wireless Network Card: None Wireless Routers/Hubs: None Docking Station: None Bluetooth: None Flash Media Reader/Writer: None Video Camera: None Tablet: None Cables: None Power & Surge Protection: None USB Hub & Port: Built-in USB 2.0 Ports External USB ADAPTER: None Operating System: Microsoft® Window s 7 Home Premium [+104] (64-bit Edition) Media Center Remote Control & TV Tuner: None Office Suite: None Games: None Ultra Care Option: None Service: STANDARD WARRANTY: 3-YEAR [3 Year Labor, 1 Year Parts] LIMITED WARRANTY PLUS LIFE-TIME TECHNICAL SUPPORT Rush Service: Standard processing time: ship w ithin 2 to 3 w eeks *_PRICE: (+1213)
