Flight Sim.

[Skittleslovers02]

My friend is build a computer to run Flight Sim. X. He wants to run 6 1080p (I think 24", he has them already) Monitor while keeping the costs to a minimum.

If you want to run all those monitors  can't really keep cost low

Thats over 4k. I'm not sure how demanding the graphics of Flight Simulator are but I think a 1070 would be a good foundation for that resolution

ok, what about like a i5 as well with the 1070?

Since flight sim is  a old game it's really cpu heavy so get a 6700k at least

yes. 4k and higher will use more gpu power. I would get i5 6600k and a 1080 to be safe

For flight simx on 6  monitors a 6600k is not acceptable,Flight sim X dosen't use Gpus all that well it's a cpu heavy game

I wouldn't pay the additional price of SFF, and grab a better PSU. The money saved goes straight to an SSD.
