The cost of this build is my budget right about @ $ 1700. With shipping
95% of the time it will be for Flight Sims. DCS A10C, FC 2.0, and FSX For work when i need it. Res. is at 1920 x 1080 native on samsung XL2370. will not be adding a second monitor. Sry forgot to add the config # 494706 This is going to be a helluva improvement from the existing Gateway 840GM that has has "some" upgrades and cant go any further than it is. Besides I deserve a new one. This one I've had for almost 4 years.Thanks DST4ME for the questions. Edited by Bolt - 05 Mar 2011 at 5:27pm |

If I remember correctly fs and fsx don't use sli/cf but do support multi thread, I would get the corsair air cooler or Noctua instead if you can.
