I don't understand. There's turtle but no toad  which would mean no homemachine

I need something like the Turtle-2014 so I can get a 10 year old flight sim to run half-decently [FSX].   Bottleneck has to be the CPU as the GPU is 'good enough' [GTX590] ...

I'm currently running 2 home builds with not-too-shabby CPUs

My main beast has an Intel Core i7 4790K with 32gb of 2400ghz RAM.

My 2nd beast has a AMD FX 8350 with 16gb of 1333ghz RAM.

Originally I was going to go with an AMD FX 9590 @ 4.7ghz for my main rig, but I'm quite happy with the i7 and will stick with it for a while, me thinks.

In the past I've upgraded annually to something more powerful from the latest and greatest, PC-wise, but this year I'm not going to.  No, this year it's a 55" Ultra HD 3D Smart TV and matching 3D Bluray player... all up for a bargain price of $1259.00.  Yes, there are 65" TVs and bigger out there, though at a much bigger price, but my loungeroom is not large enough to accomodate anything larger than 55" without it looking out of place/overly large.

As for the i7-5960X, well I'm NOT jealous one little bit.

Well maybe a little.

Orright, more than a little.
