Hello all! I have been fighting the urge to drop a large sum of money on any flight simming hardware for about 4 years now and I can't fight it any longer. I just started training to get my private and thanks to a large savings from the VA I have some extra cash set aside for a new toy.
Here's what I would like to accomplish. I am not too particular on the exterior hardware as that can be purchased and installed later. I would like to have a projector main display on some sort of concave surface to present the cockpit window display and provide some degree of peripheral vision. Additionally, I would like to run 2 monitors for my lower displays. All in all I am trying to stay under $2500 for new pc ($749), projector (undecided on product) and hardware (saitek bundle - &719).
The siatek bundle will provide the yoke, throttle quad, rudder pedals, and the instrument, switch and radio panel. All for the low price of $719.
I have been browsing pc's on newegg and due to my inexperience in the pc construction area I have decided to buy a pre-assembled model. I have my eye on this one. Any thoughts on how it would handle a projector and dual monitor panel display?
-ASUS CM6870-US-3AB Desktop PC Intel Core i7 3770(3.40GHz) 16GB DDR3 2TB HDD Capacity Intel HD Graphics 4000 Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit. ($749)
The projector is where I am really stuck. I am not educated on projectors in the least. Again is there anything I should be looking for in the specs for a concave display? Any difference in VGA or HDMI connections? If any of you run a projector display would you mind sharing your specs.
I'm open to all ideas. I just want to run FSX maxed with PMDG adds and scenery payware. I'll post pics over the next few weeks as construction and assembly begin. My goal is to have it completed prior to CTP 2013. Thanks in advance for all your thoughts!
-Bob

I have got 2 of these
Http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009223
They are mounted behind my cockpit on a flat, homemade screen. They work fine, but keep in mind you will probably need something like a Matrox dual or triple H2G and some sort of edge blending software, otherwise you will have a seam right down the middle of your view. I have a dual head2go, and wish I paid extra for the triple instead so I could add a 3rd projector later.
Also consider getting a computer with 2 video cards. I run 3 displays in my instrument panel (1 is a clone of another), 2 projectors from the dual h2g, and a monitor for my desktop (for ACARS, squawkbox, etc), all from one computer. Having the video output real estate is nice when it comes to upgrade time.

For the PC, that would not perform very well in FS at all. If you insist on prebuilt, you will need to find something with a discrete graphics card ( I would recommend the GTX 660 or higher), 8GB+ of 1600mHz+ RAM, and an overclockable CPU, preferably the i5 3570k. That in mind, I would highly recommend that you build your own, as this would not only give you a better overall PC, but also save you a good bit of money. It really isn't very hard to build one, and there are plenty of tutorials on youtube that can walk you through the process. I would recommend something like this: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Eivx . If it would be a purely FS build you could drop the 670 and get a 660 for ~$200. On a side note, if you happen to live near a Microcenter, you can pick up the i5 3570k and any z77 mobo in store and receive $80 off on the combo. I would NOT recommend getting an SLI setup; from what I have read SLI will actually decrease performance in FS. I can't help much on the projectors, but if you have any questions regarding the PC let me know.

The only thing wrong with that PC is the graphics card. The i7 and the Ram are fine

The 3770 CPU is not overclockable. For another 20 bucks you can get the 3770k and with a minimum of effort OC it 20% or more which would translate into a significant frame rate boost and add to smoothness. Overclocking is extremely important with FSX because it is so dependent on CPU speed. And faster RAM, i.e. 2133, is only a few bucks more and the Z77 chipset can take advantage of it translating into better yet FPS. As for the video card, if you're running multiple monitors video RAM becomes important or it will use the system RAM. Also GPU power is required--you'll want to run big screens in fairly high resolution which means moving lots of pixels. I would recommend an nvidia 680 with 4gb RAM. It has 3 monitor connectors on the card so you won't need an external box for the monitors, just plug them into your video card.

The RAM is ok, but he will never use 16GB. The i7 has NO performance improvements over the i5 for flight sim and gaming.

Even with a 3 monitor set up, all at 1440p, you would have trouble saturating 4gB of VRam. Also, IIRC the entire GTX 600 series supports up to 4 monitors on a single card (3 surround, 1 peripheral), so no need to jump all the way up to a 680 for that (unless its also a gaming rig, which was not my impression).

Thanks everyone for all of your input. After some consideration and further research, I have decided to put off the projector and instead run a 3 panel display. Thanks to some of the helpful links provided I have also decided to build my own system, as I have been disappointed over and over again with buying stock. Below is a my proposed build. I took what was listed above and tweaked it to fit my budget and needs. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks guys.

160gb HD? Are you using another for FSX, etc? I wouldn't go any where under 500gb. Microcenter has 1tb on sale as well.

I agree. 160 GB will run out really fast, especially with add-ons.

I threw together a customized build for you. I started with what you posted above and tweaked it to get the best value for your money.
CPU: I dropped you down to an i5 3570K. Unless you are using applications that can take advantage of the extra threads, there is no reason to go with an i7; you would see no performance increases.
Storage: I bumped you up to a 1TB drive for storage, as well as an SSD for your OS and FS. If you don't foresee yourself using 1TB of hard drive space you could drop down to a 500GB or completely drop the HDD and run only the SSD if you feel you can live with ~240GB
GPU: I left the 680 on in case you were planning on doing other gaming, but for purely FSX I would drop down to either a 660TI or a 670 and you should get the same performance.
PSU: The PSU you picked out was not very good at all, so I threw on a slightly better one. Really though, you could get by with an XFX 550W with no worries.
OS: Unless you specifically need both 32bit and 64bit, an OEM copy of 64bit will be fine (and much cheaper)
Sound Card: On board HD audio should be more than sufficient
I hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions!

Wow thanks so much for all the help. I should be pressing send on my order in a few days. I will post some pictures when all the boxes arrive. In the mean time I guess its time to start doing a little fab work for the stands.

I noticed a problem I overlooked before. You chose monitors with DVI, but no HDMI or Display Port. Since that GPU only has 2 DVI ports, in order to use 3 monitors you would need to choose monitors with both DVI and HDMI or Display Port.

Not only that, I don't think nVidia cards support all 3 ports simultaneously (if you get one with 2x dvi and 1x hdmi). Unless something has changed with the 600- series of gpu's. But, a dual or triple head2go would solve that problem.

Something to remember if you are a best buy rewards member.....
log in and use your coupons! I can rank up $40 -$50 bucks in a year with all the crap i buy there.....can get you some good deals!
EVGA GTX 660TI supports 3 connections. 2xdvi ,2xhdmi (or 3 not looking at it but you can hook up even more to it)

They support up to 4 monitors; 3 in surround mode and 1 peripheral. IIRC it is on all of the 600 series (i thought it was on 500, but im not sure), and certainly on the 670 and 680.

Out of curiosity, what are the rest of your specs and what kind of performance do you get in FSX with it? I haven't heard many good things about AMD's 8 core CPUs outside of heavily threaded applications, but it would be nice to know how it does in FS.

Thanks all for the responses. I am in the process of solving the HDMI/DVI problems with the monitors now. I really don't want to opt for a different monitor though. Any adapter solutions that don't sacrifice picture quality? Additionally, I am also planning on picking up Track IR and global scenery packages that are excellent for VFR and still effective as eye candy for high level IFR flights. I appreciate all feedback on FSX adds and Track IR. Thanks guys.

Sorry for the delayed response. I went with the GTX680, i7 3770 (Newegg and pcpartpicker missed a crucial comnpatabnility flaw that I as a first time builder missed, they sent me an i7 with the LGA2011 socket and my asus mb is for LGA1155. Due to newegg's no refund policy I will be listing it on ebay at a substantial loss :)). Anyhow I have everything up and running and have all three monitors running. I first tested the system with iRacing and the the three screens worked perfectly. I went through the nvidia control panel and created the reolution with bezel correction. In FSX with three monitors and trackir5 the vc is a nightmare. FSX is completely unflyable with trackir as I stand currently. The vc view seems to distort and pull the picture from the bottom right corner of the far right monitor. My monitors are ordered and positioned correctly, just can't get vc to appear correctly in FSX. Any ideas?

The 3770 is a socket 1155, so I'm not sure what your problems there were. For the monitors, have you tried it without TrackIR? I will look around for some solutions and let you know what I find.

3770 or 3770k? Big difference.

The first one I rcvd was the i7-3820 which is a 2011 socket (fairly new I guess). I have tried it without trackir and it does the same thing in vc.... just seems like the screen is stretched from the bottom far right corner.

I got the view fixed. It was the CFG tweak for the wideviewaspect. It didn't stick the first time but I have it now...... beautiful. Now just to get all the scenery software installed. So far I have only taken the realair Duke up for some VFR fun. Will be doing the same in a bit in the Rockies if any VFR lovers would like to join. Thanks again for everyone's help.
