Howdy fella's,
First off I have to say I know shit about PC building. But especially in the company of (forgive the term) super geeks in this forum. You guys have forgotten more about PC's than I've ever known. That being said. I am a serious flight simmer and loving gaming. So this ol Cowboy (yeah I'm an ol fart at 53 that never grew up) wants an Uber gaming PC. I hope for one wicked ass, bull riding, ass kickin monster. One I won't have to up grade for a good while. I also need multiple PCIe slots as I need to add several USP items for flight sims because every darn thing I want, gauges, panels, TrackIR, etc is USP and some of them require big fast data transfers. I can also add a second PC of less power I already own if PC's can be networked together to do different stuff. But the one I currently have is old. I was good in it's day.
So with a $3000-$3500 budget (for the one PC), what would you folks recommend for a parts list? I want a big ol power supply and nothing middle of the road. All top shelf stuff. I've got a super geek buddy that will help me put the stuff together. I want clean wiring, I think I want liquid cooling. But to be honest I know more about dogs and bulls than PC's. This link will show you how passionate I am about virtual flying. I'll want three monitors (one being a 42" HDMI TV) and two 22" touch screens. I've already found those. The touch screens are for maps, communications etc. Only the 42" TV will be the in game monitor. (these are not in the budget for the PC)
Here's my current (or was) rig. It's stripped now.
