Hi All,

I have a budget of about £2,500. Was wondering if you guys to build me a new machine for the anticipated Microsoft Flight Simulator. They recently released the min specs, recommended specs and 'ideal specs'.

I have a dual 4k monitor setup, would ideally like to put the sim across both monitors but not fussed eitherway.

Thank you
 
While I agree that you still need a monster of a PC to run FSX on Max sliders, a lot of that was to do with poor optimisation and use of available of the shelf tech that the engine was built on. P3D which is practically off the same engine is night and day in terms of optimisation as well.

Bear in mind they released 'minimum req, recommended and then IDEAL'.

I'm without a machine just now entirely so I would like to have something built and waiting for it's arrival (while using it for other stuff).
 
Curious as to why the two gents who have made a build up for me have gone the AMD route. I'm way out of the loop when it comes to building but is AMD leading the way just now over Intel or is AMDs equivalent a better CPU?
 
Been waiting on the mobo coming back into stock since it was suggested but it hasn’t so far. Any alternatives? Also any final adjustment before I go ahead and order.

thanks

any graphics card you buy today has a very strong chance of being old news pretty soon.

the 30 series NVidia GPU looks like it will be very good based on leaks. The 20 series is/was a terrible series and you’d be pretty mad to buy one for a sim that isn’t even out yet.

The new series will be out of my strict budget. I also don’t have any PC just now so that’s why I’m looking to build one pretty much straight away that I know will cope enough with the sim.
 
So I’ve still not got round to building that PC I was hoping to hold out for the new gfx cards but seems there a bit of a way off yet.

Would anyone change the spec on anything on the builds a few guys so kindly done on the first page before I go ahead and order? Thanks
 
Okay guys looking to buy a machine today. Preferably like to stay away from water cooling as I’ve only ever built one system myself and knowing me it would leak everywhere over £2k

With the new graphics cards etc is there any changes anyone would make? Highly appreciate the builds everyone’s suggested so far but I’ve no clue which ones best or value for money etc.

Thank you
