Topic: Config Advice-Flightsim/Gaming PC Posted: 01 Aug 2011 at 9:15pm |
Here is the PC I think will work great for me. I am open to any suggestions. Budget-About $1800
Expectations-Need fast CPU and high speed hard drive; provide high frame rate for flightsim (FSX) and fast loading of scenery textures
Usage-Flightsim and Starcraft II; storage of family photo albums;
Special Needs-Plan to overclock; also want good chassis ventilation
My plan is to use the 1TB drive exclusively for the operating system, gaming and data storage. The 300GB velociraptor is for FSX only
Monitor is 24" widescreen 1920X1200
Ticket #582126
Thanks!
