KaspeR32 Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 What's your budget? Intel i5-2500k @ 4.4GHz w/ H70 liquid cooler, ASRock PRO3-M Z68 Mobo, 32G 1600Mhz Mushkin RAM, EVGA GTX970 4GB , OCZ Agility 3 128g SSD, SanDisk 240g SSD, Win7 64-bit --Twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/livingfood --
Reksi-Erkki Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 What's your budget? ^that. Prepare to add 20% if possible. Also, knowing your (approximate) location might help, as we can then look up the prices from your local shops. Our prices here in Finland are somewhat higher than US prices, and that's before considering the difference between dollars and euros... Generally, I'd pay for a good power supply - high wattage isn't that important, but the ability to provide stable high current to your components is. Go for a respected brand, preferably with a silver/gold/platinum rating. There are plenty of online reviews to support your choice. A bad PSU might fry other components in the worst case, not to talk about problems caused by noisy supply lines - they may be very hard to track down. 500W should be plenty, especially if you're not planning to add another GPU into the system. I'd go for an Intel CPU, but I have no experience with the current (as in the present millennium...) AMD offerings. NVidia is the way to go with the graphics, and with that I do have experience - it may not be the hardware that sucks, but I got SO fed up with AMD drivers... also, my next motherboard will not be an ASUS model, just too many quirks with this one. However, I'm more than two years behind with them too. The i7-2600K has been plenty, so I've had no real need to upgrade. It's just that whenever I boot the computer up, I cannot be 100% sure it actually will without tweaking with the BIOS. I might go with Gigabyte or MSI on my next build. And PCIe 3.0, although I don't know if there's going to be a measurable difference. My current GPU supports 3.0, but the MoBo doesn't. With RAM I went for low CL and moderate frequency - and it has been a good choice I think. 8GB of 1600MHz CL7 is what I have, it's pricey but gives nice performance. No real data to back that up though, just my semi-educated guesses. Modern 2400/CL11 memory will probably beat it hands down with certain tasks, but any random memory accesses (see RAM :)) will definitely gain from that low latency. However, I don't think you'll see any big differences on that. Any 1600+ from a decent brand will work just fine. Corsair should be very good. Get a good SSD instead of a traditional hard drive. Trust me on this one. You can add a (slow) storage drive later, as they cost peanuts per gigabyte. I got a 1TB Caviar Black at first, and while it's very fast for an HDD, it was no match to the Samsung 830 I purchased later. Not even close. Unfortunately SSD's were just becoming an option for the Insanely Rich at that time. The Caviar is serving me nicely as a storage drive now, even though it's a bit overkill for just that purpose. (BTW, after the change I was always able to loot the table in L4D2 before the others even had the safe room loaded :music_whistling:) If you decide to go with your proposed setup, I'd still try to find out the make/model of the PSU and the hard drive. There are differences, and they might be crucial. The CPU is OK as far as I can tell, but the motherboard could use another PCIe x16 slot for an SLI setup - DCS World might not benefit from it, but other games definitely will. I used to run Far Cry 3 happily with a 2xHD6870 Crossfire setup, but one wouldn't have been enough. Also, support your local PC store if you've got one - might cost you a bit more than online shops, but you can be sure that they will sell you stuff that's going to work, and if they're any good they can also NOT sell you stuff that would work 90% of the time, even if you wanted them to :) At the end, it's all about the budget and ease of upgrading in the future. Replacing the hard drive might require a full OS install if you can not clone the old drive, which probably will be the case for an HDD-->SSD upgrade. Graphics cards are generally easy, since you can usually completely remove the old drivers and software. A new CPU is easy if it'll fit the old motherboard - and if it does you probably wouldn't get that much out of it anyway. Replacing the motherboard too might lead to an OS install again. So there you have the final and definitive answer, have fun! :) Dear Shilka. I hate you so very very much. Love, Rex
Pinefang Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 The only thing I would suggest is using an Intel processor as I have heard that they handle certain things faster than the AMD. My Intel I5 3.4 GHZ handles the game quite well. Sorry but I'm not that up on what that all means but I was convinced. I run the Nvidea 650 TI Boost and have great FPS in the 80-60 region. So I would start there and the sky is the limit. I would also go with no less than 8 GB of RAM (personal preference). Good luck
Corbett1403 Posted March 1, 2014 Author Posted March 1, 2014 Thanks everyone for your replies. I'm in England and looking spend around £1000 so I should get a good computer for this price.
pacotito Posted March 1, 2014 Posted March 1, 2014 Are you buying a prebuilt PC or are you building it? Alot of money can be saved by building your own. Intel is definitely better than AMD. With dcs NVIDIA is better than AMD. That may change when EDGE arrives. I would recommend at least a gtx 760. 64bit os is required for dcs. Pacotito I7-5820k@4.5 Z99 extreme4 16gb ddr4 520gb ssd.

Corbett1403 Posted March 1, 2014 Author Posted March 1, 2014 Was looking at prebuilt but I have been in touch with my local pc shop and going to speak with them on Monday to see what they can build for me.
Corbett1403 Posted June 24, 2015 Author Posted June 24, 2015 So this is the system I got built by a two guys who specialise in flight sim pc's cost me £2000 got now the TH Hostas with thottle track IR 5 Pro, saitek combat pedals, obutto revolution, LG 4k 42 inch monitor.

wingnut Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 That's how it goes most of the time. This is how much I would like to spend :), here's your bill:cry: :thumbup:[sIGPIC]http://i.imgur.com/27wvRIj.png[/sIGPIC]
EntropySG Posted June 25, 2015 Posted June 25, 2015 Get a good SSD instead of a traditional hard drive. +1000 that was the only way for me to get rid of the annoying microstutters [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Corbett1403 Posted June 25, 2015 Author Posted June 25, 2015 It's taken me ages to save up just waiting for my obutto then il be setting it all up ready to go
Corbett1403 Posted August 13, 2015 Author Posted August 13, 2015 Here's my setup just me testing stuff adjusting controls not had my track ir 5 on my head that day but for two days iv managed to get aircraft started taxing and taking off and landing pretty good. Took me 8 hours to put cockpit together grand total of £5000 well over my original budget but god having this stuff is fantastic.
KaspeR32 Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 Hey, Nice setup. I have a similar setup with the Obutto cockpit and Warthog additions, with the warthog obviously. Just waiting for a decent 4k monitor now. Samsung 40" curved 4k is looking like the closest bet right now.

Corbett1403 Posted August 14, 2015 Author Posted August 14, 2015 Thanks yeah I got a LG 42 inch 4k don't need any more screens than this. Having this cockpit is a good finishing touch I couldn't imagine playing at a desk.
Corbett1403 Posted August 22, 2015 Author Posted August 22, 2015 Hey guys got a problem with my track ir 5. I installed the software everything seemed to be running fine. I updated Dcs two days ago and now when I'm flying and I press F5 for Formation then F9 for close formation my track ir stops working and I get to orange lights on the camera. I have uninstalled the software and now put it back on and still same problem. I'm now installing Dcs back on again. Any suggestions.? The game itself carries on it's just the camera stops.
dotChuckles Posted August 22, 2015 Posted August 22, 2015 Neither. If you look in the Track IR software, you will see that there are hotkeys in the profile that you are using. They pause the track IR or put it in precision mode. They are usually on the f keys so will conflict with the communication menus in DCS. Just unselect them or bind them to a different set of keys. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Corbett1403 Posted August 22, 2015 Author Posted August 22, 2015 Thanks very much All back up and running thanks for your help
Scarecrow Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 You're a very lucky guy. That's a gorgeous pit. Since you're clearly taking this seriously I would advise an extension for the Warthog, it allows for much greater precision flying:)
