  • New computer help....

    My wife and I are in the market for a new desktop. She needs it for basic home computing and I need it for Microsoft Flight Sim 10 (FSX). I went to Fry's and priced out a custom built setup, but I've been out of the loop on computer stuff for so long that I don't know what's good anymore. Here are the specs I have for the potential system:
    *Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD3
    *AMD FX-6100 (3.3Ghz 14mb)
    *1tb 7200rpm HDD
    *MSI GTX660 TwinFrozr 2GB
    *16GB DDR3
    *650W power supply
    *Win 8 Pro
    *case, fans and all built
    $1100 out the door

    Sound reasonable? Thanks for the help.

    I'd stay away from msi=may suddenly implode.

    Go with evga and microcenter generally has better pricing than Flys.

    Edit:don't cheap out on the psu and get a decent aftermarket cooler for the cpu. The Cooler Master Hyper212 Evo is great for the money, just grab another 120mm fan, or better yet, a pair of Corsair SP 120's

      Frys is price matching Micro Center, FYI.

        This price included three case fans and was price matched all from all over the Internet.

          The fans I specified are for the Cooler as it only comes with one from the factory.
