Gaming Computer

[Luke]

Hey

I'm doing a project for the RAF (building a flight sim), and I need a powerful gaming computer that will run FSX.

I'd like it to have:
GFX with 2 outputs
Silent (if possible) components
Quad Core

I can probobly spend about £600-£700 on this (doesn't need a monitor).

FSX is a very resource hungry programme, and need a bloudy good computer ;p

If anyone can come up with list of components (ebuyer or amazon preferably) Id be grateful.

Many Thanks
Luke

AMD dragon platform or do you prefer intel?

FSX will work better on an Nvidia card rather than ATI just fyi.

And if it's the RAF surely they could stretch our *ahem* their money a bit further than £700

It only for cadets. I'm sure the RAF would be using their money on equipment, training etc.

Best processor for FSX would be an i7.

Would be quite difficult with that budget though.

Flight sim is CPU intensive. Get a decent Intel quad core. i5 maybe?

Maybe change the 1156 i5 to a 1156 i7?

I would think that the hyperthreading on the i7 would help out alot. On the other hand it may damage performance you'll have to find some benchmarks with FSX

I've personally never used AMD, but I can change

I have £1300-400 to buy
Decent gaming computer
4 22" monitors
Tripple head 2 go

That'll form the base of the sim.

Bit costly

That looks like a good system, thanks for time!

Don't think could afford it to be honset ;p
