Hello everyone, 

 

I'm finally prepared to buy a PC for FSX. I have the money to buy, but not the time to build, so I'm buying from originpc. I'm looking for any suggestions to improve the build.

I've also read the FSX Bible post. I'm going to ask that they disable UAC and windows defender, but is there any other software issues I should ask prior to the build? 

 

Thanks.

Get rid of the Raid. I've seen multiple places that say it is no benefit and could actually cause stutters.

Agreed no RAID. Looks pretty good.
