FSX rig setup just my thoughts... add yours plz just some good Q/A

fsx loves a high clocking cpu.. if you are not overclocking you should go for the highest cpu clock you can get, nomatter 4 cores or 2 core.. i do think 4 is a better choice. but a 2 core with a higher clock speed will do bettter..

need at least a mid range gpu res quality of the ati or the fps of the nvidia... fps vs res....? always hard to choose

one of the best bangs for your buck would have to be an ssd drive as fsx needs info quick. it was the best fps gain i saw on my setup over all hardware upgrades i have done...

keeping the computer running cool is a must.. you will take a hit on fps with a hot cpu.. keep its temp down...
E.C.O water cooler 80$ my temp has never gone past 55c

i7/i5
gigabyte/2oz copper boards i like.. great overclocking for novice "smart 6 turbo boost" i wouldn't go to the highest setting..
ati 5770 or higher
intel/SSD drive... O/S "windows 7" on the same hard drive as the fsx and all its addons, try to keep the computer looking for all the fsx info in one place..defrag defrag... "but do not defrag ssd. only defrag a hdd" ssd wont let you any way but dont try...

plz add yyour thoughts?...
