Ryan Barnes Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 My first build in a while. (My last build was a PIII 700Mhz) I don't have a computer for DCS currently so I'm building one up just for my sim. I want to build a pit so this is the first step. PC specs: Corsair Obsidian 900D case Asus Maximus VI ROG motherboard i7-4770-K 3.5 Haswell Quad Core Corsair 1200W PS 840 EVO 1TB SSD G.SKILL 32GB 2400 RAM Dual GTX Titans SLi all watercooled Monitors, undecided. I want three large screens but haven't decided how large yet. The best weathered A-10C skins for download HERE
HiJack Posted October 8, 2013 Posted October 8, 2013 Nice. That will do the job with DirectX11 and run the Nevada map smoothly :D
Ryan Barnes Posted October 9, 2013 Author Posted October 9, 2013 I agree, way more than needed. I am going to water cool everything so I don't want to have to redo things by adding a second card later or two more RAM sticks later. I plan on doing a full pit so I need to run the MFCD's and the CDU as well so I want to have enough headroom on the graphics side to push the FPS to everything. I guess the computer build is just like the pit build really...you want it to look nice and perform well, and half of the fun is just creating it, so that's part of the reason for the super computer build.

Mike Busutil Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Nice! Are you going to post pictures of the sim pit build here or start a new thread? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Checkout my user files here: https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/filter/user-is-Mike Busutil/apply/
Ryan Barnes Posted October 9, 2013 Author Posted October 9, 2013 I'll start a new thread for the pit build. The best weathered A-10C skins for download HERE
Mike Busutil Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Will this sim pit be mobile? As in when you get board with it I can buy it and wheel it into my house with little effort?

Ryan Barnes Posted October 9, 2013 Author Posted October 9, 2013 Well if mine turns out as good as I hope, maybe we can build a second one for your house since you live two streets over. The best weathered A-10C skins for download HERE
X93355 Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Ryan, just spend what you want as your specs are good for everything : ) My rig does DCS perfectly. Use to have 3 x 23" LED's but now just use 1 large 55" TV and a smaller TV for Helios and it runs well on my specs. I did just upgrade my RAM to 32GB but I don't know if it really makes any difference on my current games (BF4 soon though). Save some money for later unless you have heaps. If you do have heaps, can you send me a 1TB SSD as well please :P If you do build that rig, post some pics...

Ryan Barnes Posted October 10, 2013 Author Posted October 10, 2013 Thanks X93355, I will be posting pics of the computer going together on this thread starting tomorrow. That's when the case, motherboard, processor, power supply and DVD-ROM arrive. The rest of the parts will arrive later. Look for a pit build after the computer as well.

scheffchen Posted October 10, 2013 Posted October 10, 2013 Very nice setup! What do you use for water cooling? Greetings Boris 9900k, 2080TI, 64GB, ssd, valve index, Thrustmaster on virpil, virpil cm2 throttle, tpr pedals, mfd.
Ryan Barnes Posted October 10, 2013 Author Posted October 10, 2013 Very nice setup! What do you use for water cooling? Greetings Boris I'm still narrowing it down. It will be based off the D5 series pump. I'm thinking of giving hard acrylic tubing a try. I'll know more in the next couple of weeks. The best weathered A-10C skins for download HERE
