Computer Advice

19Herr_Rapp86 · 07-09-12, 05:25 PM

Being a simmer I enjoy good eye candy in the games I play. Microsoft FSX, X-Plane 10, SH3, 4, and 5. My current computer can barely handle eye candy though, so I am building one from a barebones kit. Things I am looking at are:
AMD Radeon x6 processor and 32gb of memory. What my advice is needed for is a graphics card. I would like something that would run Merchant Fleet Mod for SH3, M.E.P. Environment, and GWX Wilhelmshafen, Kiel Locks v7 along with the various mods for SH4 and 5. What would be a card that could handle all this? Perhaps nVidia 9800gtx or something better than that?

EDIT: My apologies if this was posted in the wrong section.
