Hardware Recommendations

It's not easy to choose to buy good hardware that's future proof and that will run Flight Simulator X and other applications/games on high settings. This is why I have put together a list of hardware that I would recommend you select from if you are upgrading/building a computer.

If you do choose to buy one of these products, I would greatly appreciate if you could purchase via the link I provide on this website as this way Amazon.com will provide me a percentage of the sales revenue. This is an independent website that takes time to run and update and I would appreciate this gesture if you plan on purchasing any of the products below. My purpose is not to convince you to buy but to offer you advice in an honest way so that you can make an informed decision.

I have divided the hardware into sections and listed various types of hardware that will suit different budgets. All should run FSX on high settings if combined correctly as described in the 'What PC' section of this website. Generally faster hardware will mean higher frame rates but all hardware below should more than do the trick when it comes to running FSX. Please feel free to ask any questions that you may have by leaving comments at the end of this page:
