Which computer to buy?

[chris74]

I have been using my laptop for a few years now running FSX 2020 and the GCQuad but its starting to slow down so it's time for a new one. I have just bought the Optoma GT1080HDR short throw projector as well. Could you guys please advise which computer should I buy?

Whatever you do DO NOT buy from CyberPower PC, the worst ever.

I ordered through Best Buy a gaming computer from CyberPower PC with no problems so far. It is an Intel Core iT-11700KF 16GB Menory(added 16 more) NVIDIS GeForce RTX 3070 TI 1TB SSD. I just brought a 4K projector this year. When the courses are good, everything works well.

I just got a new laptop, mainly for using FSX Play. I think you want a CPU that meets Foresight's specs and the best graphics card you can make yourself spend the money on, then just shop around and get the best deal you can. I don't think PC brand matters much if at all. I ended up with an i7/12700 and an RTX 3080 in an MSI machine. The main question I mulled over was whether to get an Intel or AMD CPU - I went with Intel, partly because Foresight somewhat mysteriously recommends against AMD (though I suspect a good AMD would work just as well). This setup would be mild overkill for FSX 2020. Mine works great and the graphics on FSX Play are really nice. Good luck!
