  1. 1. I'll use the Saitek controllers and the TrackIR 5 as I am not deeply serious about flying but I want to have a good time. 2. Ok. I'm not using dual/triplehead2go. A 580 is a little out of my budget at the moment so I'll just use one monitor for now and then buy a new card at another point in time. 3. Ok. I'll put the sim on the HDD. Thank you. I think I'll stick with the i7 2600k too. It would be nice to purchase an i7 3930k when that comes out but the price is a little steep.
  2. I'm sure it is probably quite hard to predict how X-Plane 10 will take use of the GPU. With this in mind, I have a question to ask. I'm new to X-Plane and these forums. (Please tell me if I am posting in the wrong place.) I have only previously used X-Plane Mobile and a little bit of FlightGear. I have had enough with the restriction of both of the programs. As I am going to build a new computer, I thought I might as well buy X-Plane 10 when it comes out. I have been watching various instructional videos on YouTube on how to fly various planes. I have opted to purchase the Saitek X52 Pro, TrackIR5 and the Saitek Pro Flight Yoke System shortly after the completion of my computer. I have a few main questions: Are the above peripherals a good choice? I have a budget of<$250 per controller. I will not get all of the controllers at once. I will probably get the X52 Pro and the TrackIR5 first and then the Pro Flight Yoke system. I will be mainly flying Boeing 747-400's, 747-8's, F/-A 18's and F-22's (Hopefully.) How well will a mildly overclocked GTX 570 be able to cope (running X-Plane 9 or 10) when running for 2 monitors, (each at 1920x1080-perhaps at least mid-high?) one for the Pilot's view and one for the Co-Pilots view. Most of the time I will only be using one monitor anyway. Will putting X-Plane on an SSD help very much? Otherwise I'll just put it on 2 HDD's in RAID 0. If so, how much performance improvements should I see? Ideally I don't want to put the flight sim on the SSD as it is only a 120GB SSD. Here are the basic specs of the system: i7 2600k with water block overclocked to 4.8GHz Asus Maximus Extreme-Z Mildly overclocked GTX 570 Direct CU II with water block OCZ Vertex 3 120GB 2xSamsung SpinPoint F3 in RAID 0 Corsair AX850 HAF X housing XSPC RX360 RAD.
