I have decided that i would like to build a computer for FSX as mine is getting old and slow
.
My budget is around £600 and have created a list of parts for a system on PCPartPicker and would like some feedback on how it will perform running FSX with addons such as the A2A Accu-sim C172 and perhaps the Airbus X etc. I am planning to get EZDock too.
i included an SSD in there so I can have an SSD accelerated setup which I heard about on the Jetline Systems website. I have no idea how to do this so help on that would also be very useful. I already have a 500GB HDD. I am planning to overclock which is why the CPU cooler is included. I only use a single monitor. I may also be doing some recording of flying videos too.
The List:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor (£161.99 @ Aria PC)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler (£23.98 @ Scan.co.uk)
Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard (£89.99 @ Amazon UK)
Memory: Kingston XMP 10th Anniversary Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1866 Memory (£65.40 @ Amazon UK)
Storage: Crucial V4 64GB 2.5" Solid State Disk (£37.92 @ Aria PC)
Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 2GB Video Card (£138.84 @ Amazon UK)
Case: BitFenix Shinobi ATX Mid Tower Case (£49.99 @ Aria PC)
Power Supply: Corsair CX 430W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V Power Supply (£37.30 @ Amazon UK)
Total: £605.41
If anyone can give me any tips on how to improve this and how it will perform I will be very thankful.
