I'm looking to upgrade my current 6 year old PC to one that can run fsx at a reasonable level without breaking the bank. I'm hoping to run fsx with a few addons such as pmdg 737 and REX, however as I have never built a PC with fsx in mind before I was hoping for some guidance/advice.
The specification I'm planning is listed below:
CPU: Intel i5-3570k
Motherboard: Asus P8Z77-V
Memory: 8GB Kingston Hyper-X DDR3 1600MHz
Graphics Card: 2GB GTX 650 Ti
PSU: Corsair 650W
I was hoping to overclock the CPU, (not to huge clock speeds just a boost) to get the most out of it for the price and was wondering whether investing in water cooling such as the H60 or H100 from Corsair is worth it as I am working towards the top of my budget already.
So in essence two questions:
What sort of performance could I expect out of this system for fsx with the addons listed?
Is it worth purchasing water cooling systems, either single fan such as H60 or dual fan H100?
Lastly if anybody has any suggestions on how to save some money on this system without hurting the performance of fsx too badly they would be much appreciated as I am fairly new to building computers for fsx
Thank you very very much in advance. :help: :smile:
