I've just upgraded a few parts and decided I might as well get rid of my old run down case, essentially making it a whole new build. I kept my same drives of course and hadn't realized the LGA1151 socket was unique for heatsinks... I tried running the I5-6600k on my AsRock fatal1ty K6 gaming...

I was also wondering if anyone could tell me the recommended amount of cooling needed for the parts that I listed a few posts ago. The case I'm getting is the Zalman Z11 Plus which comes with 3, 120mm fans and 2, 80 mm fans. Is this enough cooling or should I be getting another 120mm fan?? Thanks!

So...what are you saying here. That I should just not get great parts cause I'm not gonna get a good Frame rate anyway? But if the FPS rate is only at 20, then that's the maximum, so getting 20 fps is good then.

Since I live in Italy I have to spend that extra amount to get the parts. The total price in Pounds is 520, that's 820 dollars. Obviously I then have buy a monitor, windows, a case, DVD drive and fans. My budget for the whole thing is around 740 pounds which is 1,170 dollars.

Had to downgrade most of my parts in order to save quite a bit of money; I'm wondering, again, if this set up will support FSX with a bunch of add ons. CPU: i5-2500k Graphics: VTX3D AMD Radeon HD 7850 X-Edition Motherboard: ASRock Z77 Pro4-M PSU:XFX core edition 550w HDD: Seagate Barracuda...

Thanks for all the advice! I think I'm going to go with the the i5-2500k because of its great overclocking capabilities and stick with the HD Radeon 7850, however I'm not sure whether I should go with the 1gb version of it or the 2gb version, this price difference is around 20 dollars, but at...

I do intent to overclock and will get a CPU cooler. You said a 550 Watt PSU, but if I'm going to overclock then i'll surely need at least a 650 watt or possibly even a 750 Watt, which leaves room for upgrades in the future. I already have an SSD at home (forgot to say so in the parts list)...

So then I can downgrade slightly to save myself some money?

Hi, I'm a huge flight simulator x enthusiast and I'm wondering if the following specs will support the gold edition of FSX along with Ultimate Traffic 2 and a number of additional smaller add ons at a steady HIGH FPS. I'm also pretty sure, but wondering, if these specs are good enough to support...
