Yeah the for me ( dredded tweeting ) as I have no idea what I am doing. but ill post again when the time is right and get some help on tweeking and what to tweek. My Current set up + £800 spending on it will be I7 4790k Corsair HX 750 ( have ) 16GB Corsair Vengeance1600mhz ( have ) Nvidia GTX 770 -4GB H-100i SSD 480 GB ( have ) Corsair Vengeance C70 CD-Drive ( have ) 500 GB HDD ( have ) MoBo Z97 - A That set up will set me back £800 overclocking I wouldn't do as I dont no what I am doing. Would you say all this would be enough ? Will be flying PMDG ORBX Europe mainly. also the usually difficult landings over the world. Craig -
So I posted not so long ago "Advice" about upgrading my current computer to work much better with FSX. After totting it all up GPU, MoBo, Hydro Cooler, Intel I7, C70 Case, £800 give or take. Now I have been thinking if I were to build a computer from scratch. What would you recommend £1500 to play with at a stretch. Craig

Thank you. Craig -
I have been away from fsx for well over 12months. I am not starting my return and I have noticed that there is now a REX 4. Wow! I have just watched a video on YouTube and well I was well impressed. on my REX ( not 4 as I don't have this yet ) my clouds would look what I call flat bottom clouds and was annoying to say the least. After seeing this new video of rex4 I noticed the clouds look real no more flat bottom ( maybe this was my set up ? ) Anyway what I would like to know is If using REX 4 what is the strain on your computer compared to REX. Do you need some kind of mega machine to run this new software Craig

Thank you for the reply. I have now AMD phenom 964 3.4ghz as standard and a friend has an intel not sure what one but I know its less than mine mine also has 4 cores and his as 3. I have noticed that he seems to get better game play on fsx than I do. Now I know the reason Oh just checked out the GTX 770 there are so many types ? would I be better with a 2gb or will fsx use 4gb ? fsx is all that will be played on this computer Ill check them places out thanks for your advice Craig
