Hi guys new to this so bear with me have a few Microsoft flight sims disc's X-Plane 10 flight sim 2004 airports scenery etc, I am trying to find a gaming PC include monitor etc that compatible to run, had windows 7 home premium Alien ware PC, direct x10 ,i7 process, graphics card 660. Now gone need to get back as I like flight sim.
Live in Ireland finding it hard to get a good system, and won't purchase on Donedeal or eBay
Bad experience. Just to add I need something reasonable so budget of 800 euro will this be enough .
Thanks

You won't get much of a boost in performance with a new system for FSX. This is because FSX is a 32-bit sim and is therefore limited to the amount of memory it can use, regardless of how powerful your system is. If you do still want to upgrade your PC, I would recommend building your own system. It's not as difficult as you may think and you will save yourself a couple of 100 quid. Now take that money and buy Prepar3D Version 4 which is a 64-bit sim, which means you can have a lot more going on in the sim without the possibility of running out of memory. Mosty add-on developers are starting to ditch FSX in favour of P3D as it allows them to develop better quality products that can make better use of the hardware available on a system...

Also if you are a student, you can buy the Academic version of P3D which is a lot cheaper.

Here's a guide on how to build your own PC:
