Building a new PC for fsx

[gizmosellsbunnys 106]

I ordered i7 4790k with 256 ssd drive , 760gtx gpu with basic liquid cooling. No point running 770 or 780 using one monitor at 1080p with my settings.

get raid 0 for OS drive

 

Would ssd+hdd in raid 0 cause decrease performance, since ssd is much faster than hdd?

waiting for your comments. You use one ssd for os and one ssd for fsx right? And also what is your ram and speed?

Somebody mentioned the H80i... no, it's not going to cool any better than the Red Scorpion.

 

For AIO look at a H110, or a H105 if you haven't the rad space.

 

For air, look at the new NH-D15.

Got 2 SSD, one for W7 x64 and one for FSX, all the other files are on another computer, accesable trough network, also for FSUIPC or EFASS.

Also 8gb of ram, Vengeance 1600 mhz CL9.

Did you have a chance to test your system with fsx and addons?

I am looking at a quite similar configuration for my new machine, so I'd be happy to hear about your experience with this...

I bought the specs but in the last minute I changed graphic card with Asus gtx770 directcu ii by suggestions. I am building it right now. As soon as I get it operational, I will let you know.
