alverthein Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 For me this is simple to answer.......simply call JETLINE, let them tell you what you think you should have and let them build it.....I just did and actually have done it twice and I could not be happier...good luck.(like I told I only fly P3D and FSX) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tgon Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I’d choose the first spec personally - it’s similar to what I’ve spec’d up for my next build. Not sure if any current FS sim uses 8 cores but I could be wrong. Best, Phil https://www.facebook.com/groups/UKdirect/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
napamule2 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Definitely the 1st spec listed. You don't need SSD's for flight simming. And my advice: get two 1 Tb HDrives and put Windows on C drive and FSX on D drive. Works better. The specs makes this PC 'future proof' as well. Nothing to upgrade unless you want to overclock and then you will need liquid cooling plus a couple more fans. But that '3.7' is when in Turbo Mode (automatic) as it will idle down to 1.6 on it's own - THAT is why I can let my PC stay on 24/7 - it is 'smart' that way. The 800 watt PS is more than you will ever need (good choice). As it is it will be all you need for Simming (and/or video gaming, as far as that is concerned). I bought the parts (got advice of course) and put it together myself. Cheaper that way. But...time is money so a pre-built from these guys is 'ok' (but NOT ok if from Best Buy - they will stick you with cheap 5400 rpm HDrives and you will find you are screwed when it comes time to fly in FSX - get Western Digital Black 7200 rpm (or 10K rpm) or be doomed!

CRJ_simpilot Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Look here: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html There is a 117 point difference between the 8700k and the 9700k. The obvious answer is PC # 2. But to be honest, a 117 point difference won't matter all that much. FS is a CPU driven game, and thus you want the fastest CPU possible. To make matters worse FS is a single threaded game. So you want the fastest single threaded CPU you can afford. SSDs are nice for loading terrain, etc, and they are practically a huge upgrade in themselves. If you don't have a SSD for the main drive now a days you're doing it wrong. You really don't need NVMe though, the speed is vastly faster, but you won't see it unless you have Apps that use HDD speed. With an SSD your Windows load time should be no more than 10 seconds or lower. What is the name brand of the PSU? If that's junk forgetaboutit. PSU goes and it will take your whole system with it. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorgen.s.andersen Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Also, it is worth remembering that an upscale graphics card doesn't make the greatest difference to FSX, but if you plan to go to P3D later then it does. But do - DO - heed CRJ's advice: get a good, brand-name PSU and make sure the power rating is higher than you think it should be. Jorgen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UPHILL3 Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 You don't include your budget, or rather, how much cash you have to spend on a new PC: But as stated above, go all in on the CPU you have installed. New Intel chips are currently being introduced that may lower the price on some of the higher-end chips which should be more than adequate to run FSX...

jorgen.s.andersen Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 The OS is not specified either. If this computer (whatever CPU etc. is used) is going to run Win 10 Home, then 16 GB of RAM is all that Win 10 Home can address, so more than 16 GB is money of the window. 32 GB of RAM will only make sense with Win 10 Pro or equivalent.

I have never bought one but I know him and I know of the great systems they built geared directly at flight sim. Great customer service also. :) Personally I build my own systems but have 35 years in the Computer industry supporting fortune 500 company's.
