flight sim pc question

hi guys I recently bought a pc just for flight sim so here are my 2 questions:

1. how often do I have to defrag my pc, if im only using it strictly for flight sim?

2. I heard it's better to have your tower on a table level with your monitor, rather than on the floor? is this true? what are the pros and cons on leaving the tower on the floor? I have it about 2-3 inches off the floor on one of these mobile tower stands.

1. how often do I have to defrag my pc, if im only using it strictly for flight sim?

Usually only after installing large quantities of files if it is a hard drive.

Never if it is a Solid State drive.

Having the tower on the floor makes it more susceptible to collecting dust.

As long as you regularly clean out the case with compressed air you should be fine. Never use a vacuum, those cans of compressed air will work OK.
