OK gentelmen let me know what you think of this set up. after many hours of looking at Newegg, drooling over all those beautiful parts, then looking at my check book, this is what i have come up with. Still not sure how to figure out how to measure compatiblility issues between cpu and mobo and memory.... yikes! But will this finally allow me to pull my copy of FSX out of the droor, and see all the cars and boats and clouds, or am i still doomed to fly around at small grass stips in the middle of nowhere, with clear skys and no traffic:)

You might want a second hard drive strictly for FSX.

It should run FSX really well if you overclock the processor up to 4.0 GHz.
