Hi guys,
Just after some advice.
As crazy as it might sound, I am thinking about maybe buying a new PC just for FSX, (and other games too).
Firstly, my current PC spec is:
i7-930 @ 2.80GHz
Asus P6T SE motherboard
8GB RAM
ATI Radeon 5870
128 SSD
I bought the above around 2 and half years ago.
Anyway, I know that FSX is CPU intense, and I am just getting back into FSX after some being away for some time. I love the look of some of the add-ons that have come out and would love to use them, (PMDG 738NGX, Rex, etc..).
I have Ultimate Terrarin and a few of the Mega Airport addon's already, and it just runs poorly on my existing system.
So I have been looking at some new PC's and using the configurator, and am intrested in people's opinion on the following CPU:
i5-3570k @ 3.40GHz
or a i7-3770k @ 3.50Ghz
(They will be overclocked).
Graphics card will be a GeForce GTX 670.
8GB RAM
128GB SSD
Not too sure on the motherboard yet.
If people think that I am mad for thinking of buying a new PC, then please say so! I am not much of a hardware person but looking at what most people are running for FSX and viewing youtube video's, the i5k's seem to be a popular choice.
Look forward to replies.
Thanks
