New PC

Postby Rich H » Sat Jul 26, 2008 9:01 am

Since my computer's motherboard is dead, I need a new pc. How much would you expect a new PC, with drivers all compatible with FSX to cost?
EDIT : Forgot to say, price in British pounds, not dollars.

It depends on what you're looking for. A bare MINIMUM I would say is $1000 US (I know you wanted Pounds but I don't remember the conversion rate). It can go as high as $3-4000 for descent performance. It's all opinionated. My build would be a Quad, DDR2, 9800 card, 10,000 RPM drive, on an X48 board for about $1400. Of course, that's only me.
