Hi there, I am building myself a new gaming PC, and wondered whether these specs would allow me to play Microsoft FSX on Ultra High, or close enough?
Thanks, here are the specs:
CPU: 8 core AMD Bulldozer FX8120 (3.1GHz)
GPU: PNY nVidia GT220 (1GB)
RAM: 16GB 1333MHz DDR3
PSU: ATX 750W (not quite sure)
1x 500GB HDD and 1x 160GB HDD

Thanks

Buy a cheaper CPU, and don't buy any Bulldozer CPUs. GT220 is a p-o-s card, you're better off with 6850 or a gtx 560/460.

Well, im going to upgrade the GPU, it's just the one I have at the moment. whats wrong with the bulldozers? some people say they're crap, but they're the kind of sad acts that are obsessed with .1 ghz difference and all that crap. The actual practical users of the 8120 say they're great
