January 15, 201016 yr Have basic knowledge of what makes a PC tickGetting a new PC in the next few months as my present PC has not the specs. for FSX.This is a ready-made HP Priority for this PC is the FSX, along with the FS9.Have a lot of add-ons to install on both FS.No knowledge about OC, so this is not an option, how much will theTURBO of the 860 be increased for the FS's.How much space does 2 FS's with a lot of "heavy" add-ons need on a HD as I will be installing on the 2nd HD.Specs.Windows
January 15, 201016 yr Christiaan, I don't know where you are located but I would consider getting a custom made pc from a high volume game PC maker such as Cyberpower or Ibuy power, they will be cheaper than store bought, don't come loaded with junk software, and are made with the gamer in mind. They will even overclock them if you want.Have a look at their site and compare the price of your PC to one with similar specs from them. I bought one a few years ago and am very satisfied with the results.their site(www.cyberpowerpc.com) is ugly and confusing, but if you patiently navigate it you should find what you are looking for.
January 15, 201016 yr I would suggest skipping the RAID configuration and you certainly don't want to use 5400RPM hard drives. Everything else looks good and should allow for flying FS9 maxed out with add-ons, FSX will need a few settings turned down to medium but most settings can be run at full.
January 15, 201016 yr Author Thanks for your quick replies.I live in the Netherlands.What is meant by skipping the RAID configuration?
January 15, 201016 yr The configuration you've outlined has two hard drives in it, likely setup in a RAID array which is unnecessary for performance and actually detrimental to data integrity as having twice the number of disks means twice the failure rate.

And putting your OS onto a RAID array is an adventure in a** pain I wouldn't recommend to anyone. Lots of utilities like defrag and backup software won't work on a RAID volume, either.RegardsBob ScottColonel, USAF (ret)ATP IMEL Gulfstream II-III-IV-VColorado Springs, CO Bob Scott | President and CEO, AVSIM Inc ATP Gulfstream II-III-IV-V Sys1 (MSFS20+24/XPlane12+11): AMD 9800X3D, water 2x240mm, MSI MPG X670E Carbon, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, nVidia RTX4090FE Alienware AW3821DW 38" 21:9 GSync, 2x4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2x2TB Samsung 990 SSD, EVGA 1000P2 PSU, 12.9" iPad Pro Thrustmaster TCA Boeing Yoke, TCA Airbus Sidestick, Twin TCA Airbus Throttle quads, PFC Cirrus Pedals, Coolermaster HAF932 case Sys2 (P3Dv5/v4): i9-13900KS, water 2x360mm, ASUS Z790 Hero, 32GB GSkill 7800MHz CAS36, ASUS RTX4090 Samsung 55" JS8500 4K TV@60Hz, 3x 2TB WD SN850X 1x 4TB Crucial P3 M.2 NVME SSD, EVGA 1600T2 PSU Fiber link to Yamaha RX-V467 Home Theater Receiver, Polk/Klipsch 6" bookshelf speakers, Polk 12" subwoofer, 12.9" iPad Pro PFC yoke/throttle quad/pedals with custom Hall sensor retrofit, Thermaltake View 71 case, Stream Deck XL button box Sys3 (DCS/P3Dv4/ATS/ETS): AMD 7800X3D, MSI MPG X870E Carbon, Noctua NH-D15S, 64GB GSkill 6000/30, EVGA RTX3090 Alienware AW3420DW 34" 21:9 GSync, Corsair HX1000i PSU, 4TB Crucial T705 PCIe5 + 2TB Samsung 970Evo Plus, TM TCA Officer Pack, Saitek combat pedals, TM Warthog, TM RS300 FF wheel/pedals, Coolermaster HAF XB case
