I love gaming, especially Flight Simulator X and FPS such as Battlefield and Call Of Duty. Decided I needed all the firepower I could get so I dropped a bomb on buying this system. I love it so far it is amazingly powerful. Running games and OS off 2 x 128GB Raid 0 SSD's makes is lightning quick. It really is PC porn lol.

If anyone has the budget and wants something high end, I can highly recommend this!

What flight stick do you use.

I went to dust off my old one for a dose of IL2-46, and the cord has been chewed through.

I had the Saitek Cessna Yoke and Throttle but didn't like it after 18 months of use and now I am on the Saitek X52 Pro and love it to death!

Combined with some good payware aircraft and good scenery (ORBX/FTX/Ants Airports/Holgermesh) the flying experience is sublime.

snapping bat ducks robin....

that thing, (on some best guesstimations) has more processing horsepower than the whole planet had back in the early 1970's

Sounds pretty expensive, shame the website doesnt go into detail of whats in it. I dont see why they would only WC the CPu and not the GFX as well, sounds like ASUS is slack.

Have a ROG motherboard in my HTPC and the onboard graphics and sound is bloody awesome, but the gfx needs a bit of a kick for some bluray dvds.

Also add me on Orion, mates and i try to play every sat night. Tri-Polar69
