Best PC Build for P3Dv4

[EleanorGrace]

I've seen many posts of people asking for PC Build help, but never something along these lines. I've pretty much gotten fed up with fighting with my pc and I'm about to just build a new one.

So, what is a PC Build that will push a minimum of 30fps with P3Dv4 (Settings Maxed or close to it), Payware planes (PMDG 737NGX, QW 787, TFDi 717), Payware airports (FSDT, FlightBeam, FlyTampa), and Utilities (GSX, ActiveSky, ChasePlane).

My i7-4790k and GTX 970 can just barely get to 30fps on normal/dense on the ground, but I'd gladly spend a little bit of money and get a solid 30fps on the ground at max settings. Is the 7700k and 1080ti just the hot ticket? I've seen that pair recommended in quite a few recent build threads.

The one factor that will help you the most is a faster CPU. I have a 7700K overclocked to 4.66 GHz (15%), and with a GTX960 it achieves 30 FPS over even complex add-on scenery like New York City.

A better GPU will also help, but again, the fast CPU is the biggest factor in this. Note I said fast, meaning clock rate, the number of cores is not that important.
