Classic British Flight Sim

I've been considering a new PC to replace my current quite zippy beast. In my search I popped into my old pals at PC Specialists and had a fiddle with a couple of outlays - just window(s) shopping so to speak.

Anyway, in the way of the internet I am now being followed round by different offerings from the said company ranging from rigs at about a grand to one at nigh on six grand. The top priced one below is quoted at £5,803.00. Would that cut the mustard?

Intel® Core™ i9-9980XE
ASUS® WS X299 PRO
64GB Corsair VENGEANCE 3000MHz
24GB NVIDIA TITAN RTX
4TB SEAGATE IRONWOLF PRO

If it is any good can anyone lend me a few quid - about £5,808.00 to be exact....

Alan, to be quite honest with you, as you are looking for a new computer to fly flight simulations, for that price you can go one better...............Get your PPL for that price instead!

I presume that you are already in the red by £5!
I would go for the PPL, my cheap laptop will just about work, but my 10 year old desktop (my sons throwout) is OK for my needs.

I was hoping no one would notice the £5 discrepancy! There goes another 'get rich quick' scheme

As for a PPl I doubt if I could pass the medical to ride a bike at the moment.

The best part in all this is I opted to proceed to the next step in 'ordering' to be given a list compatibility problems! They designed the kit!

You totally skimped on the RAM, could have gone for 3600Hz. Y'all forgot water cooling too, what were you thinking??

You could always try this company, got mine from here and highly recommend them. Very helpful friendly staff.

No SSD Allan? The Samsung EVO M.2 cards are great. Highly recommend the 970

Alex, the kit listed was as offered by PCSpecialists - I didn't ask for anything. I suppose it was just a fishing expedition on their part seeing as I had recently had a look-see at what was on offer and also the fact that I have bought from them every couple of years for myself or other members of the family. As RAM goes, I have no idea what is fast/good or not.

Nigel, thanks, I will have a look.

Hi Ben, My current kit is all SSD with a 2TB drive just for P3D, the only mechanical drive I now have is one for the basic admin chores with Word and ACE accounts and photos.

Any new PC would have to be likewise equipped.

SWMOWQ says that I can spend whatever I want as recent close calls prove that I can't take it with me so...…….. maybe I will get serious about buying something. Who knows?

PPL will set you back ten grand easily.
