Hello everyone,
This is my first post on this forum.
Have been flying fsx on laptops for 5+ years. Just finished my airline pilot training and now about to order a custom build.
I have lot's of questions...
Please find the build specs in the PDF attached. This was proposed by the company who will build it.
PC Flight Sim 2014.pdf
Right now the build is an I5 4670k, 8GB corsair 1600mhz, (GTX 660 2GB), Asus B85M-e
1. Win7 vs Win8 : I am used to Win7. If Win8 is better for performance, I would consider it. The shop says that the price is the same..
2. P3DV2 vs FSX: Never tried P3D... I just want stability and frame rates. With Opusfsx, PMDG, Carenado and some scenery.
3. SSD??: Do I need this? I have one in my laptop. But if the performance is not really affected in flight sims,
I will take a WD HDD
The last question is related to the P3D vs FSX:
4. GTX660 or better?: Since P3Dv2 uses more GPU, is it worth dropping the SSD and adding better gpu? Or is this fine? I want my pc to be balanced for flight sim.
Any help would be appreciated
Kind regards
Single 27 inch 1080p Yes I have ordered the computer and I should have it on Saturday. I got a Z87 motherboard indeed. I just need to learn to over clock then..
