Hello all!
I have for a long time been into flightsimming, but as I at the moment have a laptop, I can only fly default FSX with no addons :(
So through the past year or so I have saved up for a upgrade and I finally have enough money :lol:
I was wondering if you could help me get the right parts? I already have put together a list of components, but I would very much like to hear your opinions :rolleyes:
My budget is around 1600-1700 $
I plan on flying the FSL 320-X and the PMDG 777, maybe the NGX also, with a few addon airports, REX and no AI traffic.
CPU = i5 3570K
Cooler = Noctua NH-D14
Motherboard = ASRock Z77 Extreme3
GPU = MSI GeForce GTX 670 Power Edition OC - 2GB GDDR5
RAM = G.Skill 8GB DDR3 2133MHz (2x4)SNIPER CL9
Case = Corsair Carbide Series 500R
PSU = Corsair TX 650W PSU
OS = Windows 7 Home Premium SP1
HDD = Western Digital® Desktop Green 1TB
I'm thinking of overclocking the CPU to about 4.5 GHz. Is that realistic? I also want to use the computer for other things than FSX, like Battlefield 3, Aerofly FS, F1 2012 but i believe that they will run nicely on a pc like this?
And finally do X-Plane have different requirements than FSX?
Thanks a lot in advance! :lol: :lol:
