I went ahead and ordered the 4790K versus the 4690K and going to start without an overclock. Once it comes back, I will be spending a lot of time reloading the flight sim stuff. So FSX to the SSD, but how about the PMDG A/C, Q400. On the SSD I am assuming. Only scenery I have is FTX Global, ASN, plus FSDT & FlightBeam airports. Do those go on the SSD or the HDD?

Thank you for the suggestions, Jim! Just wondering why the 4790K versus the 4690K? I know it has a higher initial speed, but what else would make it better? I already have been reviewing the install guide and the CTD guide (great resources, thank you!), plan to take my time reinstalling everything.

I have had this computer for about 4 years now and it is a good time for me to upgrade (see my PC specs and add-ons in profile). I am replacing the MOBO, adding a 4690K CPU overclock to about 4.2 GHz, 8GB RAM, 500 GB SSD and a GTX 770 video card. The rebuild is being done by the OEM. So in preparation, I have backed up the computer to a portable drive. The OEM will do a clean reinstall of Win 7 Professional onto the SSD, but I think they will wipe the 2TB HDD when they do so. On the machine now, FSX is run through the x86 Program files (because I didn't know any better). I am thinking when the machine comes back, I will be installing FSX to the SSD along with Windows, and saving the HDD for the rest of my stuff. So here we go... 1. I should completely delete all FSX add-ons and FSX before shipping it to the manufacturer? (It's FSX Gold & Acceleration) 2. Is it better to just re-download the add-ons from the respective publishers, or trust the stuff on the back-up drive (especially since they are in x86 Program files)? 3. Should I save the downloads the SSD or the HDD? 4. I have the Bojote tweaks currently. Is that still good or is the new FSX Fiber better? 5. The PMDG description of how to completely uninstall FSX, is that the best way to do it? I want to spend time flying, not tweaking when I'm done. Thanks for your collective wisdom!

Maybe you have some screen shots to share? I cannot get it to write to the PMDG file. Thanks!

So I have downloaded a bunch of liveries from the download manager and they are installed in FSX. Today, I loaded up Alaska N553AS and in FSX the "details" is showing tail #PH-BXH which I believe is for the KLM 738. So I decided to fly and it was displaying a different autopilot panel (I think the Honeywell vs. Collins) and weights were in kg's instead of pounds. What's up with this? I am trying to figure out what I am doing wrong.
