Howdy! I'm currently thinking about upgrading my computer to where it will play FSX without lagging around the DFW/LAX/JFK area using payware aircraft, and put a fairly good amount of AI traffic but I just need some help of which motherboard and CPU and some extra stuff to pick out. Right now computer specs are:
Corsair CX600M power supply. http://www.bestbuy.com/site/CX+Series+Modular+CX600M+600W+ATX+Power+Supply/8324293.p?id=1218872213103&skuId=8324293&st=CX600M&cp=1&lp=1
XFX R7850 Graphics Card- http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Ultra+OC+Radeon+7850+1GB+DDR5+PCI+Express+3.0+Graphics+Card/7733057.p?id=1218858759396&skuId=7733057&st=Graphic%20card&cp=1&lp=1
2 x 2 GB RAM
All of the above I have bought to start the upgrade on the computer... Below is what all came with it that has yet to be upgraded.
ASROCK G41M-S http://www.asrock.com/mb/intel/g41m-s/ (It is a DDR2, would like to know the difference between DDR2 and DDR3, and which to get)
And the CPU is a : Intel Celeron E1500 Conroe 2.2GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor BX80557E1500 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116075
And for my hard drive, I have no clue.
My budget is around $300-500 and I'm looking for some decent/good FPS.
Thanks!
