July 30, 20178 yr Dear all, As I want to start flying again I also need a new desktop. I am reading a lot and I come to the following: Budget: 1200 EUR (1400USD) What do I want to run: FSX SE, perhaps P3D and XPlane with weather enhancement and maybe few good PMDG planes such a B777 and B747. So far, my choice is between: i5 7600K + GTX1060 GB (who is running with i5 7600K and what are your results in FSX?) i7 7700K + GTX 1050 ti 4GB What system will give me reasonable performance? I would be happy if I could run with all sliders to the right, but medium would be great as well. Smooth and high FPS is more important then quality of view. Both systems will be equiped with 16GB DDR4 2133 mhz. I still have a HDD from my old pc, would that work for the moment or is a SSD required? Many thanks for your support.
July 30, 20178 yr I would go w 7600k OC to 4.5ghz and the 1070. 1060 only has 6gb vram i think. 7900x3d , 64gb 6200mhz 30CL Ram, RTX 3080
July 30, 20178 yr Author Thanks for your reply. I am afraid with the 1070 I will go over my budget. I started with a budget of EUR 700, then I went to EUR 900 and now I am at EUR 1200 so I have to get best bang for buck for this amount :)
July 30, 20178 yr Definitely the 7600k and 1060 system, that ram is gonna kill performance tho, you want 3200mhz+ P3D v4.5 MSFS2020 Hisense 50" 4K TV Ryzen 9600x 64gb DDR5 6000mhz, Asrock B650m HDV/M.2 Gigabyte 16gb 9070XT, Thermalright Aqua Elite 240mm 2TB NVMe Boot/FS2020 Drive, 2TB NVMe P3D Drive. Saitek Yoke, Pedals, Radio Panel, Switch Panel, 2 x FiPs
August 8, 20178 yr Agreed fastest CPU is still king in any ESP based sim (FSX /P3D etc) XP11 is more balanced but still needs fastest cpu still, don't expect max sliders with that rig. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
August 9, 20178 yr Yesterday I upgraded my whole system excluding my gtx 1050ti. My choice was: I7-7700k 16gb ram GIGABYTE AORUS Z270X-Gaming 7 Corsair Hydro Series H100i V2 All-In-One Extreme Performance CPU Cooler with 240mm Radiator *Factory Refurbished* Corsair Carbide 400C Clear, Compact Mid Tower Computer Chassis, E-ATX/ATX/Micro ATX/Mini ITX, with Window, USB3.0, Black 600W Corsair Builder Series CX, Non Modular, 80 PLUS Bronze, 1x120mm Fan, ATX, PSU and a few 120mm fans just in case... in Scan.co.uk Paid £852 I know I should change for a better GPU but I am happy with 30fps and not having everything maxed out is ok with me, I also don't use real scenery airports like flytampa or Aerosot. I use ORBX, PTA, Envtex, soft clouds, (waiting for the new rex aiports HD for p3dv4) , I fly mainly PMDG, A2A and Aerosoft airbuses. Tweaking a bit and following advice from you tube and AVSIM members is the golden rule for me hope this helps As you can see my setup is very similar to what you wanted and more or less on similar budget Ariel (zebra_afs)
