Nyxx Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 You could get faster ram as money seems to be of no concern to you. Look at the timing of my ram in sig. Some have even lower, in aero my score for ram is 7.9. I would get SATA III SSD's to make use of your SATAIII mobo, it will make a big difference. My SSD and this is a single and not RAID, read makes no diffrence to fsx Also a lot of people say SLI does not make any diffrence in fsx as its not built to use SLI. Never tryed it myself.

gheeD Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I agree, since money seems to be no problem for you, i'd recommend a 2000MHz RAM, also a good water cooling kit (The H50 has same cooling power as best air cooling + easier to brake=not worth it imo) You can easily get another 500$ on top of that set with a proper water cooling and little extra if you're gonna go for GPU cooling also. And i'd suggest water cooling with SLI GTX480. Also Corsair 800D is good case ONLY if you get water cooling on it, i've heard that it fails as a proper air-cooling case, becouse it is ment to be for water cooling, hence the size and space for radiator etc.) Also a 3D supporting display wouldn't hurt, after all you're getting dual GTX480 and want to experience FTX at its best? And i'm being serious, for this high-end computer there is couple bad parts, that arent really on same level as other hardware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As i am new to all this tech,have had flight simulator right back from the days i had an amiga 1000 . My last pc was a intel 3ghz quad core 8800 ultra 4gb ram 500gb Hdrive .
