Hi all,
I need your help on a hardware decision, because this is not my strong side when it comes to FSX setup. I am going to replace my old Core 2 Duo 6700 soon and have a budget of around $2000 for my new PC. Not only playing with it though. I will use it for modelling, animation, rendering, programming etc. as well.
I would like to get a PC, which runs FSX smoothly >25 frames at high to very high graphics settings. Usually, I am more a bush flyer using Togass Fjords X, soon Pacific Northwest, Holger Sandmann's Vancouver and so on. Also I'd like to see some traffic (75%) while I am flying and REX is a future must have for me as well. Would be great if the setup can keep up the frame rate at bigger cities like Vancouver too. Can you give me some advice for a high end PC, especially in the areas of
- CPU (would like to get a i7)
- Memory (with 4-6 GB)
- Graphics Card (>= 1024 Mb)
- Harddisc (>= 500 GB)
- Motherboard
I am planning to use Windows 7 64 Bit Home Premium. Is that OK?
Would be awesome, if you could give me an advice. I will buy it withing the next 2 or 3 months.
Thanks a lot!
