Markdude Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I might be buying my friend's build from about a year and a half ago. How would this hold up for DCS, specifically A-10C? CPU: AMD FX 6100 Six-core processor, 3.30 GHz, OCd to 4.2 GHz Motherboard: HP H8-1214 Memory: 10gb DDR3-1600 (4x4x2) Video card: AMD Radeon 7870 Sapphire PSU: Seasonic 660w Platinum Plus Windows 8 (I wouldn't be opposed to getting Windows 7 and installing it instead if there are compatibility issues with Windows 8 ) He doesn't remember the specs on the HD other than it being 1.5 TB, but I'm interested in getting a SSD and reinstalling Windows and DCS on it if it makes a big improvement.

CypherGrunyev Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I'd grab an SSD... If it's under 500$ or so, I'd jump on it. But then again I'm the guy who paid 130$ for a case :) Man I could really use a navigator right about now. i7-3770K @ Stock MSI GD-65 Z77 Mobo G.Skill Ripjaws Z [16GB] @ 2133 Mhz AMD Radeon HD 7950 [sapphire Tech] @ 1150/1600 Mhz OCZ Vector 256GB [C:/] Seagate Barracuda LP 2TB @ 5900RPM [D:/] Western Digital Caviar Black 2TB @ 7200 [E:/] Western Digital Blue 1TB @ 7200 [H:/] Corsair AX850 PSU Corsair 650D Case [so Sexy <3] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markdude Posted September 11, 2013 Author Share Posted September 11, 2013 We haven't talked much about price yet, but he's a really close friend and I know he'll give me a good deal, and he'll let me pay him in installments too. I'm not really too worried about price just yet, I just wanna know if it's a good system in general for DCS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radar Rider Posted September 11, 2013 Share Posted September 11, 2013 The power supply at least of 700W, maybe 750W if you conect things like HOTAS Warthog and others. Don't know about AMD since years, but think it will run ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 Honestly, it would be best if you bought a new machine and use nVidia + Intel if DCS is your major gaming concern.

EtherealN Posted September 12, 2013 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I would say that any such advice would be highly dependent on price.
