Hello,
I recently built a PC for my nephew primarily for FSX came in just under 720GBP.
CPU: Intel Core i5 4570 3.20GHz Socket 1150 6mb Cache
MOBO: Gigabyte GA-H87-HD3 Socket 1150 VGA DVI HDMI ATX MOTHERBOARD
RAM: Corsair 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz Vengeance PRO Kit
GPU: EVGA GTX 660 FTW 2GB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDMI Display Port PCI-E Graphics Card
HD1: Samsung 120GB SSD 840 EVO - (OS INSTALL ONLY)
HD2: 2TB Seagate BARRACUDA 3.5†SATA-III 7200rpm HARDDRIVE 64MB Cache
Sguys probably find it hard to believe that this setup can achieve between 22 - 30fps with the PMDG 777 / NGX / Ultimate Traffic 2 / REX / OPUS / FTX GLOBAL / Most add-on scenery.
I heavily tweaked the CFG using Kostas tweaks and I'm surprised that a spec like this is running FSX so well.
Some people think that FPS between 20 - 30 in FSX is unacceptable but for my nephew it's more than satisfactory even with with the most demanding add-ons.
Cheers
Scott P.
