ChrisPDuck97 5 Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 I am buying a new computer later this week primarily for flight simulation. I am going to be getting Prepar3d V3 and just wondered whether anyone could give me any helpful to suggestions for last minute modifications for the build. One thought I had was to upgrade the GPU to GTX970 4GB or would the money be better spent on an SSD? Second question, I am looking to have just the one monitor and it to be roughly around the 28'' mark and on a budget of £250, could anyone help me out at all with suggesting a few? Any feedback or suggestions would be most welcome and my proposed specs are listed below: CPU - i5 6600k overclocked to 4.4GHz CPU cooler - Corsair hydro H55 MOBO - Asus Z170K RAM - 16GB corsair/crucial DDR4 2133MHz Memory GPU - GTX960 2GB SSHD - 1000GB Seagate hybrid drive PSU - Aerocool premium grade 600W M.2 PCIe SSD - 128GB Samsung SM961 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psybear 10 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Get a GPU with 4GB VRAM minimum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisPDuck97 5 Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 So a build like this which is at the top end of my budget would be worth the extra cash and I would see slightly better performance, or just upgrade the GPU on the orginal specsIntel Core i7 4790K Haswell Refresh Processor 4.0GHz (Overclocked up to 4.4GHz)Corsair Hydro H80i Water CoolerAsus Z97 PRO Gamer MotherboardNVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 4GB16GB Corsair Vengeance Pro 2400MHz 250GB Samsung 850 SSD2000GB SSHD HybridCorsair CX 750W M PSU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even SLI is now a very viable option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisPDuck97 5 Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 Ok so taking that into consideration the second list of specs would be the better purchase for P3d V3. and any ideas what sort of performance I would see with those, I was aiming to run the airbus and crj when it comes out at 30fps, Is that realistic?

ChrisPDuck97 5 Posted September 30, 2015 Author Share Posted September 30, 2015 thankyou for the feedback that is definitely the system I am getting and will order at some point this week, with regards to monitors any suggestions, I would be sitting reasonably close to it but from what I have read 28'' seems about the right size.

dbw 4 Posted November 21, 2015 Share Posted November 21, 2015 Monitor.....I have a Dell Ultrasharp 27" that I've had for years and still happy with size and quality. At the time it was not cheap but well worth it. Were I to replace it now I would consider one of the 34" curved displays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
