XPS 8700

It's hard to say. Are you buying the system from Dell, and how much are you paying? What's your budget?

Umm... that system will perform just fine if you don't want to build a custom PC. I have an i5 3570 (non-K), 750ti, and 6 gigs of RAM and I can maintain 18 fps at FSDT KJFK in the NGX with 40% WOAI traffic on DX10. I'd get more without AI. I think that i7 4790 would perform way better than my i5. But, you should upgrade the GPU in the future. I think you could manage for now. I have a GT630 for a backup graphics card, and it ran the NGX alright.

And guys... that's a desktop, not a laptop.

yes. it costs 639 dollars. My budget for the GPU is about 120 usd.Again, thanks for you help

Are you located in the US?

Thanks for the input TheNerd. The pc will be coming in about five more days, so I guess we will see then. I should have mentioned it earlier, but yes, it is a desktop. What do you think about GPU affecting fps in FSX? 

yes, i am in the U.S

So you bought it already? I would've told you to lookup parts on newegg.com

The sale was temporary, and since it was 260 dollars off, it would be a shame to pass up.

[TheNerd 12]

639 bucks is a pretty good deal. It would be hard to get a similar PC for that price. With that $120 you should get a GTX750 or 750ti. It's a pretty decent card for a low price.

Sorry for the late reply, but about what FPS do you get with the PMDG 737 with your setup? Thanks.

[TheNerd 12]

I get about 18 fps at FSDT KJFK with REX + OD 1024 and FTX Global in DX10. Not bad if you ask me.
