A decent rig, please.

[JR128]

All new to this forum, hope to get alongside with you lot well. Anyway, enough of the dreary speech.

I am in the process of selling my current rig, once that sells, I intend to buy the parts and make my custom pc...

This is where you hopefully get involved, can you help me by making a specification with maximum £600 to £700. I'd mainly use it for gaming on FSX...

Thankyou for your time,

Jonathan.

E5200 (OC'd to hell), P45, 4GB DDR2, a 4870X2 or 275.

Although I've had an awesome result with a AMD 7750 Black, 4GB, and a 4870 which is mind-bogglingly cheap.

[theelusiveyoda]

i built a rig exactly the same as mine (see the sig) for 530

FSX is very cpu and memory intensive, isn't it ?

Think Stuart plays it.

I'm think maximize the cpu performance, and/or plenty of cache, and 8g+ if it uses it.

Graphics I believe may just need to be good+.

requirements dont seem to be very high...

[themcman1]

They may not appear to be high but once you start ramping up the settings, which believe me, you want to, you'll need a beefy machine for it.

i wuld go with AMD,have you got a case???,let me no and ile have a look £700 is a good budget to work with.

An AM3 AMD chip is really the best route to go right now. However, can you tell us what you need in terms of peripherals, and how big your display is?

[AMDFTW]

yes and no as DDR3 isent that much quicker than ddr2 and the price does not justify itself

[meh]

I'm sure that ddr3 isn't needed with an AM3 chip...
