Looks like a dream system. Your RAM seems to be too much. I think 2TB is fine for the OS drive, but the remaining storage drives should be at least 4 TB each. Good call on the graphics card. I bought the 4070 Super and it seems to run at 99% all the time and is at its limit for flight simming.

Just talked to Jetline this morning because my new system is getting ready to ship.  We coordinated my license info for P3d and access to my MSFS 2024 program which will be loaded onto my new computer before shipping. I love the way they put the system through many tests with my sims to make sure it works as advertised.  Both Greg and Ken of Jetline have been there for all 16 years I've been dealing with that company.  They build systems that are truly reliable.  They recommended the configuration I'm buying based on actual conversations with me. 

We talked extensively about drive space and simulation.  We both agree that the sims should be enjoyed with real "management" from the user.  So, 2TB for P3d is perfect when you think about my type of ADDONS.  How much do you really need?  I now have 14 liveries for the same Airbus A-320!  Do we really need all of that?  How many variations of a Boeing 737-800 does a simmer really need?  Also, sceneries added to where they really COUNT!  The places you fly to frequently can be enhanced, but all others do not need extensively "candied" airports, do they?  Management is the key word for flight simulator speed and enjoyment.

Also, MSFS, which will share my Windows OS on a 2TB drive...is a small program in reality, and so it's just the ADDONS that take up space.  Surely, a 2TB drive shared with Windows OS should certainly be enough. I enjoy flying certain types of GA planes in MSFS and I'm really impressed with the default scenery eye candy in MSFS....which is online and is NOT stored on the computer! 

Overall, I've been flying for the last 4 years on a computer that did not have a single drive that exceeded 1 TB for each my 2 specific sims.  On my MSFS drive, my use is 350GB.  On my P3d drive, my use is 287GB.  So, (2) 2TB drives look rather positive for my future, I calculate. 

Sim MANAGEMENT is my goal. 

ps.  As far as 96GB DDR5 SDRAM 6000MHz being overkill, I would respectfully disagree.  I've never been disappointed in anything I bought that was "overkill" ( My BMW M5 is testimony to that! ).  I've also read in many technology forums and even on the MSFS forum that 96GB reduces stutters, micro stutters and increase FPS.  It's also not that much more expensive to upgrade your RAM.  Why wouldn't I do it?

I'm using about 35% of available memory running P3Dv6 and Active Sky, and I only have 32GB of RAM. 

I've never heard anywhere that having a bunch of extra unused RAM will reduce stuttering in the sim, let alone increase FPS.  Now, if your using 90+% of your RAM, then maybe this would have an adverse impact on performance, otherwise I doubt it makes difference.  BTW, you say it's not "that much more expensive", but another 64GB of DDR5 6000MHz RAM for me amounts to several hundred bucks, a lot of money for most people.

Anyway, to each his own.  Enjoy your new system.

Thanks.  About $150 extra.  MSFS forum mentions reduced stuttering  and increased FPS.  I am fortunate to be able to afford it, yes, but I've always tried to get more than I thought I needed in many aspects of my life.  I got a 10 horsepower snow blower when I was much younger instead of a 5 horsepower snowblower because my Dad always said you can't go wrong with the extra power when you need it. I especially remember some big snows where that extra horsepower was much appreciated. Although I don't do snowblowing any more, I'll always remember that talk with my dad.  I've never regretted having more than what I thought I needed.  PLUS...just imagine the amount of money we simmers put into the sims themselves.  Add up the cost of many addons, most of which we hardly use regularly.  Add up the cost of the planes we buy, etc.,etc.  I'm sure it adds up to the thousands of dollars overall.  Flight simming is my main hobby and it's a way of life.  I don't spend money on expensive greens fees golfing, or on expensive hunting or fishing equipment.  I am a "simmer", and a fluid beautifully flying sim is my biggest joy every single day.

Thanks for your input.

I have the OS only on my C_Drive. My 2 flight sims run from the D_drive. I just upgraded my D_drive by cloning a new one, now that SSD prices are down. Was pretty straight forward if you ever do have the need.

If you are thinking of getting MSFS 2024 and want to install the program instead of streaming, it will take 400 GBs!

Will use one 2Tb drive for MSFS and Windows programs (C drive), one 2Tb drive for P3d, and the 1TB drive is just for extra things like P3d downloads I wish to keep, Scenery downloads I wish to keep, etc. etc.  

I could easily call and upgrade that drive to a 2 Tb before they ship, but I thought 1 TB just for incidentals would be enough. I may just call tomorrow and take your implied suggestion on that.  Jetline suggested that the drive holding MSFS would be logically the one for Windows and programs, since it's pretty much an online sim.  P3d would have its own drive because I really do have quite a few sceneries and planes for that sim.

This morning, I just added another 2TB Samsung M2 drive, after reading about the 400GB MSFS coming up.  I will now have 4 drives:  (3) 2TB Samsung drives and (1) 1TB additional drive for mixture of files I like to keep for backup. I will keep both MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024 along with P3d v5 on the system with plenty of space to grow.

My new Jetline computer will be delivered Tuesday the 3rd of June.  Can't wait. 

My new Jetline system came and I've been using it for 2 days.  If I told you that P3dv5.4 is showing FPS at the high 100's and into the 200's FPS, you probably wouldn't believe me.  But I swear on my parents graves that that is the case.  Unbelievably smooth...total fluidity and all settings near full right or close to that.   No blurries but smooth lifelike flying that I've never experienced before.

MSFS 2024 is also incredibly smooth and I just couldn't be happier.  Yes, the system is somewhat overkill, but this is my hobby and I enjoy it every day.

I'm also using a brand new LG 32" OLED monitor producing an image that is hard to describe.  Absolutely beautiful.  It goes to 240hz and it's the 1st time I've not had a 60hz monitor.  Makes all the difference and quality is there because of the OLED technology.

Stan.

Good luck with your new machine.  I've had a couple of Jetline computers and have always been happy with their machines and service.
