Hard Drives - With the price of SSD's (Solid State Drives) coming down, the recommendation here is to have at least one SSD for the operating system, another for your simulator, each being at least 512GB in size (you can also do both on the same drive if desired). You will want to get one with multiple graphics outputs (usually a mix of HDMI, DisplayPort, Mini-DisplayPort, or USB-C) to power all the monitors we will discuss later. Most systems will have at least an nVidia GTX2060 or better, with most newer systems being the RTX3080 or better. GPU (Graphics Card) - Likely the most expensive part of the PC. It also makes sense to get memory that is fairly fast, such as 3000 to 3600 Mhz. Memory - Most simulators will be OK with 16GB of memory, but I would recommend 32GB. For Intel CPU's, always look for the 'k' models as those are meant to be overclocked.
While this is not a full on "how to build your own PC" tutorial, in general, you will want a system with the following specifications:ĬPU - X-Plane in particular suffers from single threaded bottleneck (at this time), therefore you will want the fastest CPU you can buy such as the Intel 9700k or 10700k, both of which will get you 5Ghz speed on all threads. Plan to spend $2000+ on a good gaming system.
Many choose to build their own PC's for this, but for the less technically savvy, pre-built systems are available (I will recommend one below). Not only do you want a fairly fast CPU, but you will want a good graphics card as well.
As simulators have evolved over the last few years, the amount of computing power necessary has skyrocketed. The backbone of any flight simulator is the PC that runs the software.
