wensday seems so far away!!! :isadizzy:
 
and all the programs, games etc etc! :isadizzy: allthough i'll prolly just swap over one of me existing drives and just do it that way :icon_lol:
 
Very good hardware choice. I'm a bit concerned with the video card, but it should be fine for FSX hopefully.
Good luck with the reinstall. Always start with Windows. First windows update, then all the libraries which are not handled by Windows update: C++ runtimes, Java runtimes, DirectX runtimes etc....
Then the additionnal programs.
 
well it arrived, and even with the less then best graphics card (its was a prebuilt so i didnt have much choice!) it runs FSX with all settings right at 30fps solid (locked), my old pc struggeled to run most fsx with most sliders fully left .. so yea .... i'm happy :jump: :jump: :jump: :jump: :jump:
 
Good, I'm glad you are pleased and finally enjoying FSX as it is meant to be enjoyed. GPU's are of small import as we all know for the sim.
