September 4, 200619 yr Looks very nice.Only thing I'd STRONGLY suggest is that you consider a Core 2 Duo CPU and motherboard instead. Not only will you save yourself hundreds of dollars, but it will also be much faster than the FX-62, especially with FS9 and FSX. If you are happy to run at stock speeds, I recommend an E6600 CPU with an ASUS P5B or P5W Deluxe motherboard.If you don't mind dabbing in the art of overclocking and save $200 more, buy an E6400 CPU on a Gigabyte 965P-DS3 motherboard. Should be able to get 3.2GHz quite easily with this config.Your RAM will be fine (in fact, ideal) for either configuration.Gary 9800X3D | 4090 | 64GB | 2+1TB NVME | 2TB SSD | 2TB HDD | 85/50/43” TVs | Quest 3 | DOF H3 Motion Rig | Buttkicker | T.16000M Flight Kit MSFS @ 4K Ultra DLSS Performance FG 80 FPS | VR VDXR Godlike 80Hz SSW | MSFS VR DLSS Quality, Ultra Preset - Windows 11 Acer Nitro 5 | i5-11400H | RTX 3060 6 GB | 32GB DDR4 | 15.6" FHD IPS 144Hz | 2 x 512 GB SSD | Windows 11
