I'm looking to buy FSX for fitting not simulation, but the spec they quoted for the computer seems a bit excessive, I can't find a computer under £1000 that fits the bill. Anyone using FSX with a lower spec computer and having no problems

Which spec are you looking at? There have been several. I have run FSX with a desktop containing a i5 3.3ghz processor, 8 meg of memory, a 960 GPU and a 256 GB SSD as the disc drive. I was not running 4k output since I don't have a 4K display of any kind. My projector is only 1024 x768 so the I was also not outputting HD to the projector. It was outputting HD to my computer monitor.

They recommend
i7
16Gb
Graphics card 2GB. 220GB/s
A couple of months ago they recommended a lot lower spec
i5
8GB
Graphics card 2GB. 90GB/s
I might install a simulator screen later on so want it to be good enoughComment

If you are only using the computer to run the simulator (i.e., not running a bunch of spreadsheets and other applications), then 8 GB RAM will work. New generation i5 processor will run just fine (intel i5 6500 running at 3.2 to 3.6 speed). The graphics card is the most important, so if you plan to run 1920x1080 resolution in high quality, you'll need a GTX 970 to run the game at 60 frames per second which is a great picture and frame rate.
intel i5 = $350 USD
GTX 970 = $350 USD
Prices vary depending where you look. Hope this helpsComment

Foresight offer a computer which is £1995 plus vatComment

I might also use it for teaching and storing swing videos so probably need the bigger memoryComment

You can get a set up the same as what foresight recommend for £1050. 2tb hhd instead of 3tb but a saving of £1350. Check out eBay 391265875496Originally posted by Mozza View PostComment

I'm putting together a system spec at the moment that will allow me to test virtualization and also double as a gaming rig. I'll post the spec and where to buy when I'm done, but it's a lot less than what you are looking at price wise and just as powerfulComment
