[QUOTE="Steeda30, post: 8642081, member: 23794"] FSX is a great tool for brushing up/staying current on your instrument skills - especially if used in conjunction with VATSIM, it's really something. I built my gaming PC last year for FSX. Went with an EVGA 780i FTW board, Kingwin Mach 1 1000W PS, Q9550 quad, 4 gigs 1066 ram and two EVGA GTX 280's. Was dissapointed to find out that FSX really doesn't take advantage of SLI. I knew it was heavily CPU bound, so I overclocked mine from 2.83 to 3.83 ghz and it really reduced the micro stutters I was getting - but I'm also running it at max graphics settings, I don't wanna turn them down! :D Astrodude's list looks like it'd be a good build, you may want to try and find a quad core for it though. Have fun with you're instrument rating, I got mine in February - it was a blast, made my first solo flight in the IFR system a week or so after the checkride and flew from Atlanta down to Appalachicola for lunch. It was really cool to punch up through the broken overcast and cruise down on top. I requested a block clearance on the way back so I could play in the clouds a bit, was good stuff. Got my commercial in June and am working on my CFI/II at the moment, putting together lesson plans, - hope to start flying from the right seat soon. [/QUOTE]
