..and ordered the parts from Newegg for my new system. I went with the i7 Core 920 processor rather than the 940 after reading the reviews. It seemed like the 920 would be able to get the same or better than the 940 performance with some easy OC'ing so I couldn't justify the extra $276.00 for the 940. Graphics card is going to be the Nvidia EVGA 9800 GTX+, OCZ Gold 6gb memory, Soundblaster X-fi Xtreme gamer sound card and a few other goodies, Ass p6T Mobo, etc.

Had trouble finding a Coolermaster V8 cooler, finally found one at Platinum Micro but the site is screwed at the moment so I'm not sure if the order went thru or not... those coolers must be popular, I had one in my cart at Newegg but when I went to submit the order it had already sold out :faint:


Now I'm in the process of convincing Citi that I'm actually purchasing these parts after they called home ( I ordered from work) and told my wife someone had fraudently used my card possibly. Good thing she was aware of my impending purchase or odds are I would not have been posting on these forums anymore! :argue: :rapture:

I'll let ya know on the V8, Citi did say the charge had went thru though so unless their site is screwed up it should be in stock! I "may" eventually put some of my music programs on the new PC also, so that's why I went with a sound card, not to mention rattle the windows when I do a few tower fly-bys :woot:

Thanks Bjoern, if the Coolermaster isn't in stock I'll check that one out!

My poor P4 2.53 Ghz has been struggling to run FSX so I can't wait to see what this new system will do !

MY GOD MAN.......Tower Fly-Bys !!!! :173go1:

Sounds like fun to me.......:faint:

That sound card will provide all that and more......:applause:
 
Well, everything has shipped, anticipating arrival next Monday and Tuesday for everything, then...."the big build" The V8 cooler was in stock. If anyone is looking for one, try www.platinummicro.com, they still show it as being in stock. This thing got excellent reviews at Newegg.

Judging from the news floating around about Aces, I guess I won't have to worry about upgrading again anytime soon. In the long run though, and speaking from the perspective of a "part time developer" I feel like FSX will only get better and better and more people will start to enjoy it as prices drop on systems with enough power to run it respectably, and 3rd party developers continue to explore what can be done without having to rush a plane or scenery package out the door before the next generation of FS comes along, only to have to learn new methods and then upgrade all their previous addons.

Darrell
 
Agreed ...The more I think of this the better I feel it will be for add on developers...


Great news on the shipping....and cooler....:applause:
