going to buy a new desktop. What would be a good system for this program

How much cash do you have?

Start from a GTX1060 6 gig card and drive it with an i5 add in 8 gigs of memory and that's the basic system needed.

A 1060 sounds a bit much I'm running nearly close to maxed-out with an R9 280, AMD FX63000 + 8GB. Of course at the time it was $700 so somewhere around the price today can get you a very good TANE machine.

ASUS rog G11CD, great system.

You might want to take a look at this, which is around your target price point (I think the price has dropped a bit since the video was made). Only thing lacking is an SSD, but that could be added if needed.

$720 Gaming Computer - RX 480 4GB - i5-6402p @ 3.4GHz - Best Deal

But don't expect to run TANE 'maxed out at highest settings' for every route / session, even on the latest and greatest hardware. I have and i7 and a GTX 1080 and there are fantastic looking routes where I need to drop one or more settings to maintain 30 fps or more. It's a shame that no YouTube reviewers ever include simulation applications such as Trainz or P3D in their benchmark tests.

I would have to say, for graphics you want the GTX 1060 6GB AT LEAST if you plan on running T:ANE at high or ultra settings. I made that mistake. I didn't do proper research before buying my XFX RX480 8GB, I just assumed it could run T:ANE at max settings with no trouble, but alas, it just couldn't handle it. Now I have it all all maxed out, except for my shadows on medium, hovering around 40 FPS. If I had saved another paycheck, I probably could've jumped to the 1070. The hardest part now is trying to find a proper reason to upgrade it again, when every other game I have runs beautifully on it.

Have a look at http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gpu-hierarchy,4388.html

You want a graphics card in the top three bands, the GTX1060 6 gig card is roughly a GTX980 so that passes. N3V work mainly with nVidia and nVidia have a program that assists game engine programmers such as N3V get the bent out of their cards so stay with nVidia.

Wonder if anyone has tried a Ryzen setup in Trainz yet?
