October 21, 201411 yr Already have: 750w Power Supply 8 GB RAM DDR3 1866 ( Have 1600 xmp profile) Planing to buy one more 8GB to have 16GB Radeon 7970 ghz edition 4790K and 4820K have the sampe price. Planing to overclock this processors, but not extremely. (Already have good air cooling system) Which would be better for our FSX? Which socket i have to choose? Planing to buy the regular good motherboard, not "super extreme" series. Motherboard,which would be normal work in overclock, but without fanaticism. Thank you!

October 21, 201411 yr 4790k : 4 cores : oc till 4.5-4.8 5820k : 6 cores : oc till 4.3-4.6 Just 1 monitor about the same fps, perhaps the 4790k 2-3% more With multimonitor , definitely the 5820k ( 2 more cores for terrain loading ) For the future socket 2011-3. 5950x3d 5.4-5.7 GHz - Asus ROG 870 Crosshair Apex - GSkill Neo 2x 24 Gb 6000 mhz / cas 26 - MSI RTX 5090 Gaming Trio OC - 1x SSD M2 6000 2TB - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 1Tb - Corsair 5400 case - Corsair 360 liquid cooling set - 3x 75’ TCL tv. 13600 6 cores @ 5.1 GHz / 8 cores @ 4.0 GHz (hypterthreading on) - Asus ROG Strix Gaming D - GSkill Trident 4x Gb 3200 MHz cas 15 - Asus TUF RTX 4080 16 Gb - 1x SSD M2 2800/1800 2TB - 2x Sata 600 SSD 500 Mb - Corsair D4000 Airflow case - NXT Krajen Z63 AIO liquide cooling - FOV : 200 degrees My flightsim vids : https://www.youtube.com/user/fswidesim/videos?shelf_id=0&sort=dd&view=0

Haswell-E is already available Gerard. The 5820k is definitely an option to consider, with the caveat that he would need new DDR4 ram too
October 21, 201411 yr If you go with the 5xxx series chip you will need an X99 motherboard. Pretty sure that means you have to get rid of your old RAM and go with the new DDR4 which is also quite expensive. Go for a 4790K. It has the highest single threaded performance http://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html out of the box. From what I've read there's diminishing returns in FSX after about 4 threads anyway so unless you have another need for more than 4 cores (like video editing or something), the extra two cores aren't as big of a benefit to FSX at least.

October 21, 201411 yr Omg 4820 4820 4820 4820 Can u read topic text correctlty? Where did you all see 5820? Its same price cpu with 4 cores Why is even a question? 4790 is 25% faster in single core performance over 4820, at stock speeds.
October 21, 201411 yr Omg 4820 4820 4820 4820 Can u read topic text correctlty? Where did you all see 5820? Its same price cpu with 4 cores Didn't mean to confuse you. Someone else was suggesting a 5820 and I was making sure to point out that is a much more expensive route. Then I suggested the 4790K with a link to the single threaded benchmarks to explain why.

Its same price cpu with 4 cores And the 5820 itself is pretty much the same price with 6 cores. You need to come down and appreciate (or at least google) what people here are suggesting trying to help you out
October 21, 201411 yr Author Thank you! i am thinking about 4790k too Could you advise some not really expensive MOBO for it. (Overlocking not much more 4.5, not going to use sli or crossfire. RAM not much more than 16 gb. I am looking for ASUS Z-87A. Could someone say good or bad things about it? Or advice other motherboard THX!
October 22, 201411 yr Thank you! i am thinking about 4790k too Just go with the 4690k and save yourself $100 (if you absolutely have to get a CPU now....otherwise wait until next year for Skylake). Gamers and simmers will not see a darn bit of tangible improvement with a 4790k vs the 4690k.

Gamers and simmers will not see a darn bit of tangible improvement with a 4790k vs the 4690k. This is really good idea, but i am an architect and i need hyperthteading for my work... :( Choosing processor for: 1)Only FSX Gaming 2) Autocad, Archicad, rarely 3DsMax
