Hi!
Just to remind, I am not buying a new computer until the one I have now stops working, then I have a really good reason to buy a new one
I've been looking for a new PC, mainly because I am frustrated with the low FPS of my FSX.
So far I've seen that the most suitable pc would be this:
ASUS P7P55D Mobo
Sapphire Radeon HD6950 2GB GDDR5 PCI-E
Transcend JetRam JM1333KLN-8GK 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) 1333MHz DDR3
Intel Core i7 2600K 3.4 GHz LGA1155 LGA1155 (propably overclocked to 4ghz or so)
Corsair CX600W
NZXT Lexa aluminium ATX-case
Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM
Samsung SH-S223L/BEBE 22x DVD+/-RW
That is about 1000€ (about 900€ after edit :roll: ) in Finland, I've seen many shops and all of them have the same prices.
If I ordered them from abroad they would cost just as much as these because VAT is 23% and then there is the toll.
Any thoughts?
With same setup except the GFX card being nVidia GTX 570 it runs FSX maxed out settings at about 40-60 FPS average.
EDIT: I just checked a thread on another forum, I could save about 80€ from RAM and about 50€ from case. Cool.
EDIT:
New plan:
1TB Caviar Blue, SATA III, 7200RPM, 32MB 63.00€
AMD Radeon HD 6950 2GB GDDR5, 2xDVI/HDMI/2xMiniDP, PCI-E 269.00€
CoolerMaster Gladiator 600 ATX-case 68.00€
Intel Core i7 2600K 3.4 GHz LGA1155 289.00€
650W 650AX, ATX2.31-virtalähde, 80+ Gold 129.00€
2x 4GB, DDR3 1333MHz, CL9 23.00€ each = 46.00€
Z68 Pro3, LGA1155, Intel Z68, DDR3, ATX 107.00€
Samsung SH-222AB/BEBE, DVD±RW 22X DL 23.00€
Total: 994,00 €
With
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570, 1280MB GDDR5, 2XDVI-I/DP/HDMI 299.00€
Total: 1024.00 €
or
Two GTX 560 DirectCU, 1GB GDDR5, 2xDVI/MiniHDMI, PCI-E with SLI 169.00 each=338.00€
Total: 1063.00 €
EDIT: Updated prices on new plan and changed some of the part.
