Hello Forum I trust everyone is ok.

I want to build a new computer and I am using the LambdaTek PC Designer website to get an idea of parts and prices. Everything comes boxed up separate but I am comfortable building a computer so that won't be a problem.

I guess the problem is I need some feedback on what I should be aiming for to run fsx with multiple screens and even a tablet or two. I will use my Vista PC to run other software for fsx so everything will be networked eventually but for now I am wanting to just build the main PC to run 3 monitors from the start with my intention to add either another 2 monitors to have a 5 window cockpit or have a 6 screen system(3 cockpit & 3 above the cockpit monitors for other things) but one thing at a time as costs on this PC build is already hitting £700.

When I designed this PC I had in mind fsx but also recording my flights so a PC capable of running fsx flawlessly and able to render movies as well was the thinking behind this design.

Would you say the build was ok or overkill?


Feel free to use the website to design a PC for me and post up the link to it here and I will look at them all.

Anyway thanks for now in advance and I hope to see some replies soon. Star

Try Mutley's Hanger forum under Newbee building PC thread, some good advice there.

I should have abused him as well. He likes it when I abuse him, he's weird like that.

Ok thanks guys I'll check out the forums you've all mentioned. As for the link I see what you mean but it did work when I made it so maybe it had a time limit on the build idk but cheers anyway guys.

I'm currently looking for a desk and have narrowed it down to 10 desks so as soon as I have bought it I will then start on the pc build so I'll keep you updated in a sim build thread soon so thanks again and see you in the skies.
