Hey y'all,

 

I wanted to ask. I'm planning on getting a desktop finally to do FSX and some other flight sims on. Specifically for FSX would this build work?

If my system will work, I see no reason that one won't! Don't expect anything glorious from it! Just keep in mind that FSX feels the need....the need for speed from the CPU.

Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer!  ✈️

My advise: throw another 100 at it for a 3,4 or 4,2 GHz processor to do it right on this rig. Graph card is ok-ish.

Difference between this systems 2,7 GHz CPU and one with a 3,7 or 4,2 CPU will be resp. 10, 15 and 20 fps on heavy sceneries when you run all sliders medium. I think with all sliders down you'll run 10 frames more on standard scenery. It'll work but there's no space for eyecandy.

Marginal (for FSX). Get an i7 (you will thank me later). Oculus Rift? Is ok for 'Word Processing' but not FSX.

The rig will work, and I agree with the others who recommend the i7 3.4ghz processor. I have a HP laptop with a 5th gen i3 1.9ghz processor and I normally get around 20-30fps. That being said if I had had the money I would have gotten the i5 or i7 (preferred choice). I do have 8gb ram and that helps.
