sounds like your system is not solely dedicated to FSX so from an overall systems standpoint then put your OS and apps on the SSD. SSDs do not help FSX from a performance (FPS) standpoint but do cut FSX load times down significantly. BTW, your CPU is begging you for an OC. FSX "comes alive" at about 4 ghz and shines even more at higher OCs.

As Scott said, If you purchase the OCZ SSD, I would recommend installing Windows to the SSD. Keep FSX on the Raptor and use the Seagate for storage or other "games/programs". I'm not sure how much space the Raptor has but 120GB on the SSD wouldn't be enough for my FSX to breathe.And yes, having a 980X without overclocking is nonsensical. Just bump the multiplier up and viola! It's like owning a top fuel dragster but using it only to get groceries on Fridays (The 980X was built to overclock).

Wait for the OCZ Vertex 3 or any other of the SF-2000 based SSDs to be released.
