New Build for FSX

[ubntfp]

Hi Peoples

I want to build a new pc (Or buy) that is water cooled and is capable of handling fsx with directX10 at least at half the quality settings if not more.

I would like to have pci-express and have as much watercooled as possible, had thought of Zalmin fanless towers but not sure if that would take enough heat away if running fsx for a while.

I have a budget of around

 Can no one suggest anything for me to build ?

Any advice would be appreciatd

Well, I am very happy with my build - its not the best as I was on a strict budget -

Thanks Volunteer,

I will look into that, I would like silence but I am watching ebay for water coolers, missed one that went for

Wifi is important as the new FSX is really good when flying with others on the internet. My plan was to get a hundred pound graphics card - and upgrade when it was economic too. And put the old one on EBay. Ditto the processor.

I was planning to get a ten pound desk fan and poke it into the case, as a cooler. But I don't need it -the 120 mm hole cut in the side with a 120 mm fan : really cools it down - most of the air flow was strangled by the cases own baffles and grids where the fan goes. I don't think efficient cooling need be noisy. My overclocking 20% - only puts puts the internal temp up by 2 degrees.

I think if you get a NVidia board- then it works best if everything is NVidia - ie: SLI cards etc. Don't mix and match (ie: NVidia chip set board and ATI graphics card)! A SLI set up wil be good - yes.

My board gets a good write up - if you google it - but it only has a couple of card slots - so, one for the sound card (an upgrade) and one for the Wifi - and yr done for.

I heard that Intel chippy's are the way to go - AMD chips are not as fast.
