MX Simulator

I'm building a gaming pc pretty much just to play sim as dont play any other games, is this setup gunna run shit wih high settings so i dont have to worry bout not having 125fps, if anyone could help would be sweeet,

CPU - Intel i7 6700k https://www.overclockers.co.uk/intel-co ... 82-in.html

GPU - EVGA GTX 980TI https://www.overclockers.co.uk/evga-gef ... 88-ea.html

MB - MSI Z170A Gaming M5 https://www.overclockers.co.uk/msi-z170 ... 05-ms.html
or - Gigabyte GA-Z170X Gaming 7 https://www.overclockers.co.uk/gigabyte ... 26-gi.html

RAM - Corsair Vengeance 16GB DDR4 https://www.overclockers.co.uk/corsair- ... 39-cs.html

CPU cooler - https://www.overclockers.co.uk/cooler-m ... 63-cm.html

SSD/HD - 128GB SAMSUNG SSD https://www.overclockers.co.uk/samsung- ... 90-sa.html
1TB HARD DRIVE

Power - 850W https://www.overclockers.co.uk/corsair- ... 55-cs.html

Havnt decided on a case yet, dunno is theres anything else i need though?

if anyone could tell me if this is good enough or what to change would appreciate it.

Complete overkill for sim... An i7, 980Ti, DDR4 RAM.... You could build a good sim build for $800 that runs maxed 256x256 at 125FPS

That would run it fine but i wouldnt waste that much money on a gpu if your only going to play simon it a 750ti would be fine heres some EVGA 750ti
But if you do get a 980ti i would invest in some other games since youd be a able to run max settings on them and still run 100+fps

If money is not a problem, go for it. But this is a tier or two over what could be consideree useful for sim. If you're planning on playing games in 4k resolution or just want to build a robust pc that will last long, it's a supreme build I'd say. I like my 980ti, can throw almost anything at it and it just eats it.

A 750ti? I would only recommend that for a person barely playing video games or a 1st budget build. "For sim only" I'd say 960, thought my 660 was roughly on the limit. As I'd like tobsee it, save up for a 960 instead of going for a 750ti. Just my philosphy.

sweet thanks for the advice guys, i dont mind spending more now if its going to last a longer time,
i was wondering also is that cpu cooler good enough, or do i need a better one if i want to play sim on max settings?
and is the power supply gunna power it all lol, im noob with pc had a gaming laptop until it cant run sim no more lol

There abit too much lol, dont wanna spend more than £1400-1500 tbh, but wanna get good value that i wont have to update for a while,
and i dont know much about gpus isit worth going for the 980ti over the 980 with the price diff?

Nice budget, not needed for MXS purposes but in the case of just getting a good PC this will last a good 5-6 years at 1080p no doubt, probably even 1440p.

I just threw in a suggestion for cases but it is large so if that's not what you are into pick something from Fractal, Corsair, NZXT, or Phanteks. All great case brands that will not disappoint.

Do you have a need for a full ATX because if its just a single card for games it might be cool to get a ITX system.

This is my use of the budget, open to suggestions or modifications.

Cheers puma, that site is a lot better than what I have been using lol, now I can check if everything is compatible at the same time lol thanks, think im gunna go with what you said but with the case might go with the nzxt h440 as reviews look good

i have a sc 750 ti and it runs sim 512x512 maxed no problem but i run 256 maxed so its not overboard, and any other games, you can play other games too like h1z1 or rust maxed with no problem too
