Posted: Thu Oct 18, 2007 7:43 pmHey guys just thought i'd gloat for a bit cause im wrapped with my new purchase!!!!
i originally was going for the Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 CPU 2.4GHzx4, but through your comments i did decide to take your advice and go with less processors and more clock speed,
so this is what i choped and changed about it... Intel dual core2 6850 3.0Gx2, the quadcore was a nice spec but the clock speed was a bit slow so faster the better right?
still sticking with the 2GB DDRII 800 RAM, 320GB Highspeed s-ATAII 7200Rpm HDD, and the PSU i kept with for now. "i know i know you guys wanted me to go withsomething a little more gruntier but i stuck with the 520w and if things go pear shape then at least i have the 3 year warranty to cover me!
and last but not least the Graph Card, well there are so many to choose from that i just couldnt decide and i remember BrownBox showing me a inflight shot in FSX using a 8600GT, i admit it was aflipping nice but i had to dig deeper and went for the next size up, the 8600GTS, thinking this will keep me happy for FS9 for now!
So i know there will be some critics out there saying "oh no dont use that' or something along those lines but please guys be nice to me! im no computer expert and i went with the best advice i could get, my Uncle, PC Tech Guru and believe me i picked his brains unill he couldnt take it any more LoL.
So all this should arrive mid next week, let me know what ya think Fellow Simmers!!!
Oh and P.S...If this Topic needs to be moved then please do, My Bad-nes HaHa
Cheers Guys!!!
