July 7, 20187 yr I'm looking to upgrade and will use it primarily for Prepared, but will keep FSX SE for now also. I'm looking for a recommendation from a simmer who can advise on what to buy. I'm looking for a rig that can easily handle the ton of add-ons that I have. My price range is between $1,500- $2,000. Thanks in advance.
July 7, 20187 yr are you planning to build your own machine or looking for a pre-constructed system? for that price budget you should be able to get something quite decent.. look for cpu with high clock speeds as this has a big effect still on most of the pc simulators. something like the intel i7-7700 or -8700 chips. consider getting a good cooling setup so you can overclock it. at least 16 gigs of ram, an ssd for your system drive, and for the video card something like a gtx 1060 or 1070/1080 or however high end you want to go... i usually do my parts shopping from newegg but i will also search on amazon or sometimes just get it from my local computer store which has pretty good prices sometimes, just depends on the situation. if you are looking for a pre-built machine there is generally a premium price added but you will be looking for a machine with similar specs to the above anyway. sites to try are alienware, jetline systems, msi, dell, a lot of local companies will also put a system together.. cheers,-andy crosby

Thanks in advance. Only one topic please as you started the same topic in the P3D forum. I’m closing this one and moving your P3D topic to the hardware forum.
