Optimum PC Build?

30.8k Cadin  8.2 years ago

I'm sure this question is partially subjective, but here goes:

I'm looking to build a flight sim rig, mostly for simple planes, and also for Unity development.

I currently am running a Lenovo W520 with Intel Core i7-2820QM and Nvidia Quadro 2000M.

I am looking at building a pretty bare-bones budget rig, am curious about folks' input.

Thank you in advance!

    Wowzahs! I'm pretty sure that would run most anything! And I'm sure requires quite a bit of gold in exchange! What would you estimate the cost to be if I built something on this level myself? Thank you for sharing, this is certainly a nice high mark to establish the field!

    Whatcha thinkin' Gb wise? I am running Win 7 (64bit), but with 8 Gb ram. Does simple planes utilize the 64bit install or run at a 32bit? Would that limit usable Gb to less? Thanks in advance!@ViperGB @FullFruntall
