How much did it cost?

The overall cost was close to £2000. The custom watercooling took a fair chunk of that (over £200), and also the professional respray (around £200 if I remember rightly). Then the various modding parts took another chunk. The components stood me at around £1200. I had a budget of £1700 but went way over that by the end of the build. It sounds very expensive, but for that money I got a unique PC, and one which could easily outperform pre built PC's at the same price point. Half the fun was building the rig too.

good to see you locked it the error most times made is to say i can get 100 fps but its crap

i have my sim (fs9) locked at 30fps more then enouph as the human eye sees als from 25fps up as fluid.

with my current setup(2 years old) not sure annymore what in there i see this in fs

Im Running:

Intel Core i7 2600K OC'd at 4.7 Ghz

8GB Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600MHZ RAM

2 x WD Velociraptor 600GB 10,000RPM SATA III HDD's COnfigured RADI0

Single GTX580 Graphics Card,

All on a ASUS P6T Pro Mobo,

Housed in a Coolermaster Cosmos S Case.

I have a 1000W PSU to run it and it only has windows 7 and FSX installed, nothing else!

I get around 40 - 150 FPS unlocked but for best result find locking mine to 30FPS using the external Limiter works best.
