Hello all, I’ve recently purchased a new budget build for FSX\P3D. Being from Canada, our dollar is not doing so well. So, with that in mind, I thought it would be fun to see what I could get out of a (1000$CAD - 750$ USD) system. The whole point of this build, is to see if you could get acceptable performance, without having to break the bank. I wanted to share this build in case someone else was looking for a similar price point. List of parts ordered: Intel Core i5-7600 3.5GHz - 4.2GHz Turbo Quad-Core Processor $299.99 MSI B250I GAMING PRO AC Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard $144.99 Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2400 Memory $88.02 MSI GeForce GTX 1050 Ti 4GB Video Card $209.99 BitFenix Neos ATX Mid Tower Case $44.99 Corsair CXM 550W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply $84.98 LG GH24NSC0B DVD/CD Writer $24.98 Western Digital 500GB HDD. (From another PC) Intel 250GB SSD (From another PC) Total: $1005.70 (CAD) Inc Tax. Initially, I was going to order the N200 Mini ITX Case but, they were back ordered. (Latest estimate was 4 weeks). So, I decided to grab the BitFenix instead. (Still a great case). With regards to OS, I would prefer Win 7 but, thanks to Microsoft, that wont be happening. I have Win 10 from a previous system, thankfully! I was split between two paths. First path was an i5-7600k with a AsRock Pro4 ATX Board and a EVGA 1050ti. Unfortunately, it ended up being over budget by 150$ I was very keen on keeping it under 1000$ So, I ended up with the above list. The i5-7600 is still a great performing Quad Core. Might not be able to overclock but, still has a max turbo frequency of 4.2 GHz. I will be posting some results in the next few weeks to show how it performs. Cheers,
