Yeah I can play hours on FSX here is a pic of my Yoke; CH Products Flight Sim Yoke
I love flying the B-52H, C-5, C-17 and the old C-141 I would like to someday get the CH Products Pro Pedals and the CH Products Throttle Quadrant. I been meaning to get them on my list of to buy but I keep pushing them back on the bottom of the list lol. And maybe a fighterstick since the yoke is terrible on trying to fly a heli..
I can land real well in a small 2 seater or a lear jet but my military aircraft, I'm still having some issues landing them... I either over shot my runway distance or come in too hard and can't see my runway. Have you try the multiplayer? I never try it. Too embarest to have them laughing at a noob try to land those heavy aircraft.
I been to some FS forums and the pics of the people setup is amazing. Some even made there there desk a full mockup of the cockpit with real gauges
Man if you guys are into flight sims check out IL2 1946 or even Rise of Flight which just came out.......it leaves FSX in the dust
RoF looks nice, but apparently is still pretty buggy with multiplayer. I enjoy military sims but there aren't a lot around today. Jane's ATF and USAF were really good back in the day.
I enjoy FSX because you can navigate pretty much anywhere and I use it to get current with airspace, airports, and approaches. I'm a pilot and air traffic controller so it is a worthwhile training aid.
Very nice rig! That's some serious GPU horsepower you have there I running a single 980ti and will try to swing a 1080ti when it come out. I likt the water system too, I wanted to try a full out water system but I settled for what I could grab at BB to help me get stable at 5.1 Ghz. Down the road though I want to try it and was a factor in choosing the case I did.
Where do you put the Bayonet?

Water cooling really is worth the extra time it takes to build, temps are super low.
If you do decide to do a full water cooled system in the future just really take your time with planning the loop, will pay off as you build
Nice rig MadHatter, we have the same motherboard. Recently I have delidded and replaced the thermal pasted on my 7700K dropping the temp significantly allowing me to run at 5.1 while staying under 80. I typically game at 5.0 and average 65. I just treaded myself to a EVGA 1080Ti SC2, it's a beast.
I built this in January, I have never owned such a nice setup
The folks @ Cainslair taught me how to build PC's at least 15 years ago could be could be more.
ASUS ROG GeForce GTX 1080 Ti
ASUS ROG Maximus IX Hero Z270
EVGA SuperNOVA 750watt PS
Intel Core i5-7600K OC to 4.0 Ghz
G.SKILL TridentZ RGB Series 16GB DDR4 3200 Mhz
Crucial MX500 2.5" 250GB
Seagate BarraCuda 750GB
Corsair Hydro Series H100i Liquid CPU Cooler.
Love the purtty lights.

Bit of a build log in pictures for the same streamer for a gaming PC they needed. I7 8700k OC'd to 4.9Ghz on all cores. Customer already had a GTX1070 they were going to use. Thumb drive contains their windows key plus drivers and instructions for a reflash if needed.
One of my earlier builds for another Twitch client. Please excuse the somewhat bad images, I didn't get to save them all and these are all I have left. What you see there is a i7 5820k OC'd with a Corsair H80i in the front cooling it. What you don't see is the Nvidia GTX Titan on the other side that barely fit in the case.
Shows just how little room I had in this build, those are two SSD's in RAID 0 and what you can't see below is a HDD being used for back-up's https://imgur.com/ejlSCqT
