I was reading your computer that you have for your simulator and i'm just wondering why you are not using Windows 10? I have a similar system that i just built for my sim. I have the Gigabyte X99P-SLI, I7 8700K Processor, Corsair Hydro Series H100i RGB Platinum SE 240 cooling system, EVGA GTX 980 TI Video Card, 2 500gig M.2 Hard Drives, 16gig DDR-4 Ram, M.2 WiFi Card, 1000W Power Supply, Sound Blaster Sub & Speaker System and a 32X DVD Drive. With Saitek Pro Flight Yoke, Saitek Cessna Rudder Peddles, 2 Saitek Throttle Units, Saitek Trim Wheel with Saitek Switch Panel, 2 Saitek Radio's and the Saitek Auto Pilot Panel. All running on Windows 10 Pro 64
I am hoping the stuff i built my system with will run the sim fairly well as i'm kinda new at this thing. I fly real planes and just started with the sim stuff.
