Hello guys,

I need some help and advices.

I need to buy a new laptop (it has to be laptop), and i'm in doubt about 2 models:

- MSI GS40 - i7 6700HQ and GTX970M 3GB

or

- MSI GS43VR - i7 6700HQ and GTX 1060 6GB

The GS43Vr model is 400€ more expensive and my big question is:

GS43VR worth 400€ more? Or in another words, i will have a great benefit in FSX/FSX:SE/P3D buying GS43VR instead of GS40?

Regards

Ricardo

Did you resolve your problema?

I'm thinking about a new laptop, and i'm in doubt about na Clevo with i5 6600K and GTX1060 or a Clevo with i7 6700HQ with GTX 1060?

Next month i'm finally getting my new build.

It will be something like this:

Intel i7 6700k

CM Hyper 212x

Asus Z170-P

2x Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB 2400Mhz

MSI Geforce GTX 1070 Armor 8GB DDR5

2x SSD Crucial MX200 480GB SATA

HDD Seagate 2TB 7200

PS Corsair RM650x Modular

NZXT S340 Black/Red

Total Cost is about 1580€.

Then i have Saitek Thino X55F and Saitek Rudder Paddels.

For now i will connect it to my Philips 50" FHD Tv. Later i pretend do connect it to 3 monitors.

What do you think?

Regards

You may find it easier to OC 16GB DDR4 and find stability.  Unless you plan to do video editing there will be not much benefit to 32GB over 16GB ... 16GB is about the minimum.  

 

I'm a strong believer in quad channel setups myself, not a big fan of the 6700k as it has a small cache (8MB) and has integrated graphics which is wasted/not used.

 

Is the Philips 50" a 4k monitor?

 

Cheers, Rob.

Rob, i will go for 16gb. Later if i need more i'll do an upgrade.

The Phillips 50" ins't 4k, only FHD.

Cheers,

Hi guys,

This will be my final config.

Intel i7 6700k

CM Hyper 212 Evo (offer with Mobo)

MSI Z170A Krait Game

4x8GB Kingston DDR4 2400Mhz HyperX Fury Black

SSD OCZ Trion 240GB Sata III

SSD OCZ Trion 240GB Sata III

HDD Seagate Barracuda 2TB

PSU XFX XTR 650W Modular 80+ Gold

EVGA GeForce GTX970 SC ACX2.0 4GB DDR5

CM Mastercase Pro 5

Final price almost 1600€

32GB of Ram ins't too much?

All this system will be conected to a Philips LED 50" and i have Saytek X55 and rudder pedals!

Regards

The i7 6700k worth the 120€ of diference for i5 6600k?

I will gain significant FPS in FSX or P3D?

Hello,

I'm almost ready to buy all components for my new build.

My problema now it's the case.

These three cases what would you recommend:

- Corsair 400C

- Phanteks Enthoo Pro M

- Fractal Design R5

All of them costs aroud 100€ only Phanteks it's chepear 79€.

Guys, you ara fantastic. Thanks for every tip.

I will make a stupi question (i think). I have in my living room a 50" Philips LED FullHD and i'm thinling to buy a new 55 or 60". Can i use this LED and conect it to the new computer? FSX or Prepar3d will have any problema with this Philips?

I don't know the correct model, i'm away of my country because i work in Angola, but i'm sure that it's a LED FullHD.

Regards,

Ricardo

Hello again! Thank you all for your advices.

I think i have the final configuration. I don't buy any monitor for now, i have an LG 24" IPS LED at home, and i want to build multi-monitor (3 max). So i will keep that LG for now and later i upgrade with time for the 3 monitors.

Final configuration:

- CPU: intel i7 6700k - 379€

- Mobo: Asus Z170 Pro Gameing - 146€

- RAM: Gskill RipjawsV DDR4 2800 (2x8GB) - 83,95€

- GPU: Asus GeForce GTX970 Strix OC 4GB DDR5 - 369€

- MidTower: Corsair Carbide 100R Silent Edition - 58,70€

- Power Supply: Seasonic M12II 620W Evo 80+ - 96,95€

- SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB Sata3 - 152€

- HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200rpm - 62,95€

- DVDRW: Asus DVDRW 24x - 12,95€

Total price near 1400€.

It's missing the cooler. What do you recommend?

Martin,

This PSU was recommended by a friend of mine. He told me that it should be enough to my system. But do you recomend other?

Thank you

Asus Z170 Pro Gamer is a good choice?

Thanks for your advices.

I've been looking for GTX980 and it blow up my budget. Gtx980 it's 370€ more expensive than GTX970.

New built with GTX980 costs 2000€

In FPS what % of increase do you think i will have with GTX980?

Hello to everyone.

I'm going to buy my new computer exclusive for FSX and Prepar3d.

So, i read a lot, in a Portuguese Forum and heres in AvSim.

I would like to know what's your opinion about this:

- CPU: intel i7 6700k - 379€

- Mobo: Msi Z170A Pro Gamer - 150€

- RAM: Gskill RipjawsV DDR4 2800 (2x8GB) - 83,95€

- GPU: Gigabyte GTX970 Windforce 3x 4GB DDR5 - 339€

- MidTower: Corsair Carbide 100R Silent Edition - 58,70€

- Power Supply: Seasonic M12II 620W Evo 80+ - 96,95€

- SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB Sata3 - 152€

- HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200rpm - 62,95€

- DVDRW: Asus DVDRW 24x - 12,95€

- Monitor: Dell S2715H 27" LED - 279€

It costs aprox. 1630€. I have a budget of 1800€.

I have some doubts:

1st: Buying GTX980 6GB instead GTX970 i will have more fps in the FSX?

2nd:i7 6700k with Z170 Mobo or 4790k with z97 Mobo? I will not going to overclock it for now. 

Thanks to all of you.
