I'm looking to update my flying PC, but am out of date with modern pc specs.

 

Currently use fsx and fly mainly pmdg.  I may consider going to P3D soon.

 

How would this run?

 

CASE: NZXT H440 with Red Trim (1x140mm Exhaust, 3x120mm intake) 
MOTHERBOARD: MSI 970 Gaming 
PROCESSOR: AMD FX-8350 4Ghz Black Edition - Stable overclock to 4.4Ghz! 
WATERCOOLING: Corsair Hydro Series H100i GTX Extreme (Top Mounted Radiator) 
MEMORY: Kingston HyperX FURY 16GB 1866Mhz (Dual Channel 4x4GB) 
GRAPHICS: EVGA GTX 960 SuperSC Gaming 4GB GDDR5 
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 
HDD: 1TB WD Blue 64MB Cache 7200rpm 
PSU: Corsair CXM 750w Semi Modular 80+ Bronze 
OS: Windows 7 Professional (Will Upgrade to Windows 10 On Request) 
ADDITIONAL SOFTWARE: Microsoft Security Essentials, Steam 

 

Grateful for any help....

Personally, I'd go with intel. They're also the preferred chip these days. I had an AMD/ATI system about 10 years ago that ran very well, but everything I have read in the last 5 or so years leads me to believe that intel is superior. I purchased a system tonight using the i5-6600k.

I'd agree that Intel is the way to go in respect to FSX/P3D by far.
