[DCS required specs!!]

Hi guys :clap:

 

This is my first post, because I didn't get into the DCS business yet, but I hope I do soon. ;)

 

I will try to make it short as possible.

I watched a lot of DCS videos and really got excited to try the simulator. But it seems that I need a proper PC first:cry:. "And here the story begins"

So I did my homework :book:and looked for PC builds that could run the DCS smoothly, there are hundreds of various builds. but what do you guys think about this one:

 

# Intel Core i5-6400 2.7GHz

# Nvidia Geforce GTX 1050 Ti

# Kingston DDR4 8 GB [RAM]

 

Please feel free to change any of these, it's just my initial specification list.

 

I know, it will depend on my budget. Well, let me say that I want to make it as cheaper as it could be, but at the same time, I want the simulator to run smoothly with decent fps and resolution.

 

another thing to point out, I have a lg a520 laptop with the following specifications:

 

# Intel Core i5-2410M

# Nvidia Geforce GT 540M

# 8 GB RAM

 

I used to run FSX with it and was running really good:thumbup:. The last time I checked, the GPU of the laptop wasn't working properly:crash:, so i need to get it fixed.

 

So, I want your advise: Should I go with a new PC build or just fix (or upgrade) the GPU of my old laptop and use it. Please take it "budget wise:glare:".

 

Sorry for the long thread and hope you find it clear.:bye_2:
