Replacement PC specs
Posted: Wed Feb 08, 2012 4:29 amGreetings all.
I am currently in the process of evaluating my requirements for a new PC that I need to build for my University graphics course to replace my current 2004 HP Pavilion machine which I have also been using for FSX for years.
I want to use this new rig at good speeds for FSX (though I'm not obsessed with maxing any sliders, provided its smooth and looks good).
I plan on using the Airbus X I have and the upcoming QualityWings BAe-146 as well as some Carenado aircraft with Orbxs FTX Australia, YMML and YBBN as well as REX 2.0+Overdrive.
I've used other peoples builds to roughly get an idea for what I can get with the budget I have but I would like any feedback, suggestions, changes, etc that anyone might have. I especially want to know if these components are all compatible with each other as my knowledge in this area is sadly lacking.
Also if you are wanting to know I'd like to OC this rig to about 4.5/4.6 if that is possible to keep away those dreaded blurries and stutters that so plague my current machine.
Thank you for your time.
P.S. I already have a 24" LED HD monitor that I can use for this rig so that is not on the list. As for the keyboard and mouse, they don't really bother me and I preferred the wired ones to wireless.
