Since everyone is doing it, I figured I'd join in on the fun.

Processor Cooler: Corsair H100

Graphics Card: ASUS GTX 970 STRIX 4GB

Storage Drive: 1TB Western Digital @ 7200 RPM

Power Supply: Antec 620 Watt 80+ Bronze Certified

Periphials:

Mouse: Razer Naga 2014

Rudder Pedals: Saitek ProFlight Rudder Pedals

Tracking: TrackIR 5

And here we go, first picture.

Currently I don't use my yoke, as I'm flying Airbus with pride - @ will know what I'm on about. My third monitor is dusting up on the floor, not quite sure what to use it for..

I like the chairs you sell @CI Nozeinho

My monitors are getting old, any suggestions for a new set?

Please excuse the messy wiring, just moved in!  h34r:

Yoke is acting as a USB hub, as I ran out on the PC  :lol:  .. Still not sure where to put that TV though.

You know, it's getting so old that whenever I turn off the PC, it actually says with a bright white background and red letters: "AGING - CONSIDER REPLACING"  :blink:

Slightly dusty and the wiring is messy, but it gets the job done!

Corsair H100 - can't recommend it enough!

Considering adding another GTX 670 for SLI, any suggestions?

My God it's getting dusty  :huh:

Front end - it's even dusty here too!  :lol:

The Corsair 650D does look nice...

That's about it, hope you like it. It's not the best thing ever, and some stuff does require renewal, but it gets the job done!

A340, A350 or A380 I hope.

Is it worth for the average player? Probably not. If you have a special interest in flightsimming or just flying in general, then sure! It adds a lot of realism and fun.

Hehe, I do like my TrackIR 5.

And yes, I fly the A320. However! I did have some fun with the 77W in Hong Kong the other day.

Duel engine failures are fun in that... or single engine fail whilst over MLW

Is it worth getting that joystick as the current one i have is stiff as fuck

If you fly a lot, yes, it is. You may be able to find better joysticks out there, but I do like this one - I've used it for around 5 years now.

Ordered one xD

+1 For Shep he was right about getting a joystick to fly!. Got the same one as him today and was worth it by far!

Already becomming a better flyer.

One downside to it.... Getting used to flying with left hand

Hey Shep, I'm looking into using a joystick setup for when flying helicopters on Arma. Could you give me any suggestions of a quality robust joystick?

The one he has is epic bro, nice and smooth easily to setup and is just great to be fair with the price.

Logitech Extreme 3D Pro is the best unless you want to spend a lot more.

@Kris! What the others said, Logitech Extreme 3D PRO is the one I use, and if it breaks, I probably will buy it again. If you want to go hardcore, get a HOTAS. This is very good value for money, though.

 

[Kris!]

Thank you, all 3 of you! I'll certainly be looking into it

.. Hmm.. Maybe it was a bad idea hosting the images on my own domain   :Banhammer:

Running a mixture of high to ultra, averaging at 60 FPS. Obviously lower around Kavala, and when there's a lot of stuff going on.

I use the stock fans provided with the Corsair 650D, along with the Corsair H100.
