I'm also wondering this. Is it something that can be done?

Is it possible to add an ambient boarding sound (eg. sound of passengers boarding the plane)? Would help with immersion :)

Maybe I will put my CPU under pressure for a longer time then... what stress test do you think I should use? As of my multiplier it is set to 42 and I run the memory att its stock 24000MHz. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4

Yeah, I know that faster is better but I was a little bit afraid of the high temperature I've got when pushing my cpu to 4.4... When I overclocked I run the OCCT Linpack (with AVX checked) and OCCT CPU test for an hour each untill averything got stable. Then I tweaked the memory and run OCCT CPU test again for one hour and I run memtest. I ended everything running OCCT linpack test for six hours and then aida64 complete test for six hours. I think that should do it. Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 4

Well, I'm done with the final stability/load tests and everything seems to run very well. I followed this guide: http://www.simforums.com/forums/haswell-48ghz-on-air-building-a-haswell-system_topic46180.html I managed to OC my CPU to 4.2 with Vcore at 1.19, idle temps at 32C and load temps (CCCT AVX Linpack) at 79C. To be honest I'm tired of overclocking now so I will keep those settings and maybe try to OC in the future. FSX should run ok I think (?)

I've recieved all the stuff now but sadly I think I've got a bad CPU example for overclocking. :( Tried to OC it to 4.4 but it needed too much voltage and the temps in OCCT Linpack test was to high (90 C) and it wasn't even stable then so I quit. Now I'm trying to OC it to 4.2... we will see how it goes. .. :wacko: Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2

I will. Should get all the parts tomorrow I have one question, I see that you are running 2xGTX780 card. Do you run FSX in SLI or do you disable it? I've heard that SLI is not good for FSX so I'm wondering.

Ok, waiting for all the parts now

Well, I managed to "swallow" the D. It was the F3-2400C9D-8GTXD I meant in my previous post. So it is better to go with F3-2400C9D-8GTXD than with F3-2400C10D-16GTX? Should i go with 2x F3-2400C9D-8GTXD (16 GB with four sticks) or just two?

I understand, a lot of people are saying this to me and I understand but I've got a really nice price for the Titan.

I think so too. Do you think I should go with G.Skill TridentX F3-2400C10D-16GTX or G.Skill TridentX F3-2400C10D-8GTX? The first one is 2x8GB CL9 and the second one is 2x4GB CL10... The first one is more futureproof, but how will it perform when overclocking my PC? I've heard that more ram and higher latency is not good when you plan to overclock.

Thank you for your comment. I've forgot to add that I also want to swap z87 deluxe for maximus VI formula so I will be able to run 3 cards in sli (in the future). The idea with an extern DVD is very nice, I think I will get the ASUS DVD Writer, SDRW-08D3S-U

Thank you all for your help! I've made some modifications to my "wishlist" and would like to hear your thoughts about it. What I'm now thinking about: ASUS GeForce GTX TITAN 6GB (got a nice price for it) ASUS Z87-DELUXE, Socket-1150 CM Storm Trooper Gaming Big Tower 4x Cooler Master Blade Master 120mm fans (to add in the case for better cooling) Cooler Master Eisberg 240L Prestige Corsair AX 1200W PSU (I want the possibility to add extra graphic cards) Intel Core i7-4770K 3x Samsung 840 Pro 256GB Seagate Barracuda® 2TB Samsung DVD Writer, SH-224DB G.Skill TridentX DDR3 PC19200/2400MHz CL9 2x4GB (F3-2400C9D-8GTXD) Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate Should be a nice rig for FSX (after overclocking). What do you think?

Wow, this is not a easy choice. I thought that 4960X would be a better CPU for FSX, but FPS is impotent... If I want to run addon sceneries and textures, should I aloso go with 4770K or is 4960X better because of the loading time? Also, here is the rig I have now: ASUS Rampage III Extreme, X58 Intel i-960 @ 3.8 Kingston DDR3 HyperX 1600MHz 16Gb ASUS EAH6990 graphic card OCZ Vertex III, 160 Gb (For OS & Programs) OCZ Vertex 450, 240 Gb (For FSX & Addons) Do you think I will get significant better performance when switching to a new computer?

Hello all, I'm planing on buying a new computer for FSX (mostly) and would like some help from you.

Or should I maybe make some other changes for the ultimate FSX experience (for example 2xTitans in SLI)? Thank you in advance!
