March 9, 20197 yr Hey I am a first time FS-X user with the intent of playing online. I was scoping out desktop computers today and wondered what you guys though about the Cyberpower GMA3000BST for use with FS-X and Steam Edition. A couple of questions. 1) Can I run these games off of Windows 10? 2) Is this computer a good option for the game, or would you all have a better recommendation? I am looking to spend between $400-900 on the computer, and don't plan to really install much more on the computer. I am trying to run the game with the expansion pack and full graphics. 3) Have you all had success using the wireless cards in your desktops to play FS-X? See the specs of the computer on the link below https://www.bestbuy.com/site/cyberpowerpc-gamer-master-desktop-amd-ryzen-5-series-8gb-memory-amd-radeon-rx-580-2tb-hard-drive-240gb-solid-state-drive-black/6290721.p?skuId=6290721
March 9, 20197 yr Would not recommend that one. Among other reasons, Radeon video cards have never been the choice for these flight simulators.

March 9, 20197 yr I bought a Cyberpower PC four years ago - Intel 6700K (not O/C) with GForce GTX 970 - MSI, and have had no real issues with it. I did install a second SSD 500G card myself dedicated to add-on sceneries. I also installed FSX-Steam back then and have had very few problems with that as well. But the PC came with Win 10 pre-installed via a Cyberpower license. No reason for you not to upgrade to Win 10...
