PC for P3D

[kghurley3 0]

Hello everybody I was just looking for advice for a new PC build so that I could run P3D well with addons like PMDG, GSX, etc. I have a budget of $800 and do not need any peripherals or an OS. Any advice is appreciated!

 

Thanks!

with that budget you can get a nice PC that will run P3D well.

 

my advise go only with intel for the processor 

and for graphic card go only with Nvidia

If you're going with the Skylake build (6600k) you will need DDR4 memory not DDR3. Everything else seems fine, assuming you are on a budget. If not, it would be beneficial to get a 970 gtx and an i7 processor instead for a couple hundred or so more.

 

One more thing, if you plan on getting a K (unlocked) processor you will need a Z-chipset motherboard. The Asrock B150 you have selected for your Skylake build will not let you overclock the multiplier.
