That's quite a system. You should be able to run P3D on that thing (and possibly XP11). It may cost you a second mortgage but will keep you from having to upgrade for a few years. cool

That's great, exactly what I was aiming to get out of it. My old rig crashed a couple years ago and I took a hiatus, now I'm back into it. I'm itching to get back into the air so this thing needs to get here fast

I recommend updating that Video Card to a 1080ti if possible. I have a 1060 and its great!
