I'm planning to put together a new PC using some of the parts from my ageing Q9650 build. I'd like to try out all the current main sim software - X-Plane, FSX, Flightgear, DCS World and possibly Prepar3d too, flying things like iFly737 in FSX and FF757 / FF777 in X-Plane. I've also been collecting old PCs to use as slave machines in multi-display setup, and this new PC would be providing the main graphics in that setup. Below is a preliminary list of parts. I'm not in a rush to build this thing - maybe a New Year's present for myself: Blue things are from my current system. Green things I've already bought new. ? your suggestions welcome! CPU = i7-4790K (OC to 4.6GHz) Cooler = Air ? Thermal paste = MX-4 GPU = GTX780Ti 3GB MB = Z97 Asus ? RAM = 8GB DDR3-2400 kit ? or 16GB DDR3-2400 kit ? HD1 = Samsung 1TB (32MB) SATA2 HD2 = Samsung 1TB (32MB) SATA2 HD3 = Western Digital 320MB (32MB) SATA2 or Samsung 500MB (16MB) SATA2 PSU = Corsair TX850 850W or Seasonic S12G-750 750W Case = Coolermaster CM690 I'll update the parts list as I make decisions.
