  1. Usually prebuilt PCs from HP and other brands do not include good power supplies with them unless stated. That means you would probably need to buy a new PSU from Corsair, be Quiet!, Seasonic etc when you decide to get a good graphics card.

    Select the following options for this customisable PC from Dino PC (https://www.dinopc.com/gaming-pcs/primal-gs7-gaming-pc):

     

    CPU: i5-7600k
    CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Seidon 120 v3 Liquid Cooler
    Case: Game Max Silent Black Silent ATX PC Gaming Case
    Motherboard: Gigabyte H110M-S2H
    RAM: 8GB Geil DDR4 2400hz
    PSU: Corsair VS 650w
    GPU: No GPU - Use integrated graphics
    SSD+HDD: 128GB SSD with 2TB HDD
    DVD: Asus 24x DVD-RW
    OS: Windows 10 Home x64

    Price: £682.02 inc. VAT - Free UK delivery during March (£15 otherwise) - 5 year warranty


    Overclocking will help increase FPS and the i5-7600k overclocks well especially as FSX is more CPU dependent.

    All you would need is to do in the future is add something like a GTX 1050ti/ 1060/ 1070 and you will have a good PC especially at 720p.

  2. You can check out Overclockers UK, Novatech, Scan, CCL etc to see if they have any PCs in your price range.

    Trying to find a PC with an Intel i5k CPU with Windows 10 and a decent GPU is quite difficult for under £700 but I have found a few PCs you can look into:

     

    https://www.box.co.uk/Cube_Assassin_Watercooled_Gaming_PC_Core_1660074.html

    - Comes with i5 4690K with water cooler, 8GB RAM, Kingston Hyper X 120GB SSD, 1TB Seagate SSHD and GTX 960 4gb. However it only comes with Windows 8.1. You could upgrade to Windows 10 at a later date.

    You can still upgrade to Windows 10 for free from here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/accessibility/windows10upgrade?tduid=(14c348e893a91089cb2980533c6ee123)(256380)(2459594)(TnL5HPStwNw-0FBZfNm6YPFXNhiu3o52rA)()

    (£699) + Free UK delivery - 14 day no quibble return + 2 year warranty

    - Non K CPU but you could upgrade at a later date. Comes with a decent graphics card, SSD + HDD and Windows 10.

    (£599) - 12 month warranty

     

    http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GAMING-PC-INTEL-i7-3770K-3-50GHZ-16GB-RAM-120GB-SSD-1TB-HDD-GTX-1050-WINDOW-10-/252814505138?hash=item3adceb34b2:g:9pwAAOSwWxNYyYHb

    - Comes with Intel i7-3770k, 16GB RAM, SDD + HDD, Windows 10 and GTX 1050 2gb which should be good enough at 720p but you can always upgrade it later.

    (£599) - Only 30 day warranty

     

    If you could increase your budget to around £750 you would be able to get a better custom built PC from the main PC websites.

  6. Thank you everyone!

     

    Of course they are edited... but what edits... exceptionally nicely done, subtle, and fitting to the era of the picture... (cf Kai Tak approach, love it!)

     

    Though I must say, your landing configuration looks a little odd :)

     

    Landing in Sint Maarten, but almost no flaps...

    Landing in Ibiza, but wheels no down by what looks like 250' AGL and no flaps...

    The landing in Cairns picture looks more like departing Cairns... the deck angle you have there would cause a tailstrike...

     

    Great pictures, but I am not sure I would want to be sitting in the aircraft you are at the controls of :)

    I will admit that I am definitely a casual flight simmer and should never be allowed near the controls of a real plane. :P

    I've always had an interest in aviation but its only been the last few months that I've really tried to learn how to fly anything properly. As some of these images show I still have a long way to go. :lol:

    Thanks again!
