for a gaming computer that I am wanting to purchase. I am wanting to purchase this system from ibuypower.com . I am purchasing this system to mainly operate Microsoft Flight Simulator X. I will post the entire system components. I know I could probably get away with a different video card but the main reasone I am choosing this card is because I had read somewhere online that that card will operate Flight Sim X at MAX setting with no problems. That was just using one card as well so I assume the dual cards would be even that much better.
I do have one main question. Is there a different video card that is crossfire capable that is as good if not a better graphics card for less money? If so which would you recommend?
I had read that with the 5850, the one card would support up to 3 monitors. Not sure that I would ever reach the point of using 6 monitors (looking to build somewhat of a flight sim cockpit later down the road)
So here is my list:
Game Fire 60o System AMD
Case - NZXT Apollo Gaming Case
Noise Reduction - None
Internal Expansion -None
Case Lighting - Red
Processor - AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition
Processor Cooling - Free upgrade liquid cooling
Memory - 4GB
Video Card - ATI Radeon HD5850 1 GB Crossfire Mode (Dual Cards)
Free Stuff - Stalker & Battleforge
Motherboard - GA-890GPA-UD3H-AMD 890 GX
Power Supply - 1000 Watt Gaming Series Quad SLY +Active PFC
Primary Hard Drive - 500gb
Optical Drive - 24x Dual Format
Flash Media Reader/Writer - 12-n-1 Internal
Sound Card - 3d Premium Surround Sound Onboard
Network Card - Onboard LAN Network (gb or 10/1000)
Netbook/Notebook Bundle - None
Operating System - Windows 7 64 Bit
Wireless Network Adapter - Linksys wusb600n 802.11n Dual Band
Is there anything you would change? Possibly the type of video cards or will these suffice for monitors between 23-26"?
Thanks,
Michael
P.S. THE TOTAL PRICE IS JUST UNDER $1700. I would like to go cheaper if all possible. I just do not want a system that will be "just enough" to "get by" with. Thanks for the help.
