Looking forward to this journey and hopefully being able to run more airline traffic on fsx.

Season's Greetings to you too, Joe.

AMD cpu and Radeon gpu are not exactly recommended for FSX / P3D.
In any case, you may get great performance out of it and that's all that matters. I'd suggest you add an SSD (or two) into the mix and use it (them) for your boot disk / FSX disk. You'll be amazed at how much faster everything loads. Makes all the difference when installing FSX with the ton of add-ons we all accumulate as, according to the gurus, a reboot is strongly suggested with each add-on installation.

Best of luck!

Thanks Atonis! I eventually will look into it. I usually reboot every time I install something anyways. I will say I'm looking forward to using this for fsx. And getting better performance. smile
