Hello everybody,

I am a dedicated FSX enthusiast and so I am looking to build my own custom FSX gaming pc. I would appreciate it if i could have some feedback regarding the components I have chosen so far.

My target is to achieve around 30-45fps constantly in highly detailed scenery/airports and Aircraft as I use a lot of pay ware airports and VFR scenery as well as pay ware aircraft such as the PMDG 777.

My current build consists of the AMD FX8320 CPU, R9 270X HAWK GPU, 8GB ram and 2 x SSD drives but i'm struggling to maintain 20FPS when running any add ons.

I'm looking to either spend 500-600 on a new computer or upgrading my current one. I would really like a I7 build

Thank you in advance for any help.

What currency is your budget in? FSX is a good game however its getting old now isn't it, I'm not sure how much gains you'd see from going mental on upgrades. Could you please post your entire specs including case and PSU make and model?
