Hi, my friend wants a new pc and i've been set the task of building it and wanted to know if these specs would play the microsoft flight simulator games well (the only game he plays).

Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H
AMD Athlon II X4 640
Corsair XMS3 Classic DDR3 PC3-12800 4GB
Gainward GTX 260

Thanks <3

looks fine to me, how many gigs of RAM will you be buying? 4GB should be enough.

Should be OK at medium settings as longas resolution is not too high. You might want to consider a more powerfull GFX card

He has a 20" monitor and the resolution is 1600 x 1200

The gfx card is an overclocked golden sample 260 with the extra cores, will it really struggle with this game? i was more worried about the cpu
