New PC means new mods!

[Jimbo Jangles]

So, you may have seen my post about 10 days ago in another part of the forum, regarding my amazing wife who just bought me a new PC from CyberPower. Well, it came via UPS today! Quick specs, Intel I7-6700 3.4ghz, 16gb ram, gtx1070 8gb ram. I'm looking for recommendations for this significant upgrade. Not just visual enhancements either(but bring em on), as an example: on my old machine I couldn't run RasterPropMonitor without dropping to less than 3 fps, so RPM will definitely be at the top of my list as I love IVA missions. I'm looking for any mod recommendations you may have. I'd especially love to see some of your reasons why you love certain mods vs similar mods or stock. Obviously KSP is known to get bottlenecked at the cpu meaning my new gtx1070 may not do as much as I expect, but I'm going to push this beast to its limit before I back down the throttle. Any mod recommendations for a top of the line PC would be most welcome!

More recommendations for BDB/SEP/Tantares

Also check out HabTech and Stock Visual Enhancements and Stock Visual Terrain!

I'd grab CKAN and look through the list, getting all the mods. Then adding BDB and such.
