Justin;
This is a very descent price. Looks amazing machine. If you could, I would do some upgrade:
*A larger SSD capacity.
*Buy a better monitor. That one is not even 1080P.
*Don`t ever isntall McAffe Antivirus on your system. Never... It will make you system to have many issues with addons and installation.
*For Windows 10... I would suggest this step: http://deltava.org/thread.do?id=0x1f04e Just to make sure everything runs smoothly before upgrading to Win 10.
*Than you should be good to go.
*Make sure you Overclock the beast i7 6700K.
Let me know if you need any help.

Nice! I'm running max graphics in FSX with 2.6Ghz and 8Gb of RAM. Usually get 30-40 fps with default scenery.

Thanks for the feedback!
I was planning to put the OS in the SSD and FSX within the HDD, as others suggest. I cannot afford to get a bigger capacity SSD.
The monitor was $49 with the combo deal, so I just had to take it when it popped up. The thing is the computer will inherently come with Windows 8.1. The only option to get wind7 would cost me an extra $99. So I dont think your thread would be too helpful in my situation. Ill definitely try t overclock that card, hopefully not overdoing it. Any other recommendations on any antivirus at all?
