[FSXPatriots]

Hello, I am posting here to see what this system I want to get would do in FSX.

Before I spend any money I want to be sure that I will get at least 40fps in FSX and other games (Like Crysis.)

Now, This is what I am thinking of getting. Is it worth getting? Will it run most "gun games" at 60fps and FSX at 30 - 40fps?

Thanks.

The parts list certainly looks good, I guess its a pre-assembled machine?

As far as FSX goes your FPS will depend on how you set sliders and what scenery and AI and aircraft addons you are using at the time. 30-40FPS should be achievable most of the time, but at a busy airport with lots of AI and a complex aircraft model you will still see it drop into the 20's on occasion, sometimes lower possibly. Seems like with FSX it gets to a point where no matter how much $$$ you throw at it you get diminishing returns.

That rig should set you up nicely for other more modern games I'd say (dont know about Crysis, actually, never heard of it and you should also be sweet for MS-Flight if it ever hits the shelves
