PWJT8D Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 So I've decided it is time... Why not build my own computer? I knew nothing about it one week ago, I dove right in head first. I have crammed my brain with information over the past few days on what I want, what I should get, what works with what. I think I have finally designed my dream machine and I am itching to start buying the pieces and putting it together. But before I do that, I would like to hear your two cents.Cooler Master HAF 922 ATX Mid Tower with USB 3.0Corsair HX Series HX750 750W Modular Power SupplyASUS Maximus V Extreme LGA 1155 Intel Z77 motherboardIntel i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9Ghz Turbo) Quad-CoreEVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 Superclocked+ 4GB GPURipjaws X Series 16GB RAMCrucial M4 128GB SSDWestern Digital 1TB HDASUS DVD BurnerTotal cost comes in at $1,678.

Mike Hotel Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 Regarding XP10 performance I read something like the more cores, the better - and 2GBs are plenty for the moment being. I guess that RAM would not hurt when XP10 gets to be a 64bit app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct that 2GB is plenty for right now however I won't have this computer right now. With 10.20 beta right around the corner, it will beat out the completion of this computer. I don't see this computer being up and running for at least three months.Here is the thread about X-Plane not utilizing all your cores. http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?showtopic=55346 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
