I will be using triple 27" surround. No stereoscopic. resolution is 1920x1080 per screen. 3 screens, the single card cannot handle it. so for fps gaming I will use 1 monitor

Thank you Alex, This link really helps alot. Regards, Sam Thanks Barry, Really happy to read your post. you'll be surprised that new pilots like me know almost nothing about flight simulator. Especially for ones didn't start with previous sims. I can use software overclock like 10-12%. I am no good at using BIOS to overclock from 3.5ghz to 4.5, just don't know how. If I can get to 4.1-4.2 I am happy. This is one thing I don't understand about flight sim. While race sim relies heavily on GPU, everywhere I read about flight sim X is that it is 75% dependant on CPU. Definitely will look into Saitek and CH and head tracking stuff (new to me). Looking forward to Oculus Rift but that maybe years when commercially compatible with flight sim. Interesting to read that " It takes a lot more than a good PC to make FSX work well". Definitely more research, trial and test to do. once my system is up. Thank you from Thailand. Regards, Sam

Hi Guys, I live in Thailand It's time to give away my PC to my nephew. I am building a new pc now. I have not paid much attention to pc technologies in the past 4 years. Last time I know I was using GTX 280. This PC has 3 functions for me. 1.Flight simulator 2. some 1st person shooting 3. Racing simulator. I went to gather information as to what parts to put in and how much and came out with below list. My goal is to build a very high performing PC without using the top CPU and GPU model. Also I want flightX be able to run smoothly with everything turned on. Chassis Volair SIM 700 CPU i7 4770k 353.1 Mainboard Sabertooth 319.7 HDD WD2tbx2in raid1 179.3 SSD vector512 658.7 RAM corsair 8gx4=32g 294.3 VGA GTX780x2 1593.8 DVD-RW Blu ray. 115.4 P Supply Strikes 1100w 121.8 case Corsair 133.7 CPU liquid cooler 127.6 Total 4597.50 What do you guys think of this build this? Is my build enough to produce good result in flight X? Look forward to hear from you. Sam
