The rules are still more or less the same as they were with FSX.
Yes, P3Dv4 still needs the fastest CPU cores you can find.
And yes, it will also use all of the cores your CPU has for building the terrain tiles while you fly. The more cores, the more crisp the textures will stay during fast flights.
However, unlike FSX, P3Dv4 will also need some serious video card, you don't want to slow down your CPU waiting for your video card all the time.
And finally, you want both RAM and VRAM. P4Dv4 is 64 bits, so it can and IT WILL use more memory and video memory than FSX.
Nothing to say about your video card, it's the best available nowadays anyways
Concerning the CPU, I would personally choose the 9990k. It has enough cores already.
EDIT: 9900k, not 9990k, sorry :P
