I am 55 and have been through the X-Plane forums, and checked online sources. I even went to PCPartPicker and built a fantasy system - without any knowledge whatsoever. If there are those who can recommend online sellers who provide a "system building service", and know what would make X-Plane perform optimally at high detail settings, I would be most appreciative. Newegg has online chat consultants, but having just used one, I'm not sure of the level of expertise. Plus X-Plane seems somewhat rare in the "gaming world."
Many thanks...
