Hello Dario - I am looking to build a new FSX system and it sounds like my evaluation is similar to your experience. Any thoughts/regrets on selling the AMD1095T in favor of the I5? If you had to do it again, from a cost/benefit perspective would you consider the AMD route? (I was about to pull the trigger on an AMD/MSI Mobo combo and then I read this thread). What type of performance can I expect with moderate settings and complex add-ons (Level D or PMDG)?Bango Man - Any experiences to report with the I3 build?Thanks All,Eddie
