I'm putting together a rig to use primarily for FSX. I'm using a great big old Antec Soho Server Tower so there is space for a kitchen sink. I have an e8500 on an EVGA nForce 790i FTW board with an Artic Freezer 7 Pro cooler and 8 gb of Corsair XMS3 1600 DDR3 memory. My main problem is the GPU. FSX is about the most demanding of all games when it comes to the GPU and from what I hear - works best with a single GPU. What would you use in this situation? Thanks in advance for any advice you care to offer. I haven't made a decision yet on monitor/monitors. Leaning toward a lcd flat screen and two monitors at this time. Oops forgot the PSU Thermaltake w0106ru toughpower 700w psu -

actually fsx is cpu bound, and i think you need to upgrade you cpu to at least quadcore.

btw hd6970 is the best for fsx and you should try eyefinity with it, its really mind blowing experience

ok, no problem, because I like to playing FSX too, but shame MS stop to develop new FS games, I'm really eager to pay new Flight sims games.
