Ok it sounded like (in your post above) that you were most likely not going for FSX at this time....But yeah, then by all means - go for the FSX, DX10, Vista rig

what do you think about this set up? CPU Intel Core 2 Duo Conroe E6600 2.4GHz FSB 1066, 4MB CPU Memory 2048MB 2(GB) DDR II 800 Memory 240 Pin (Major Brand) Motherboard ASUS P5B Mother Board Hard Drive 1 Western Digital 250GB 7200RPM 16MB Cache Serial ATA II Optical Drive LG 18X DVD RW + Dual Layer Video ASUS EN8800 GTS PCI E, 320MBVideo Audio Use current Power Supply 550 Thermaltake SILENT Power Supply Dual Fan Control or Antec 500W

I think I'd bite the bullet and go with a 150GB Raptor instead of the Caviar (I have the caviar and a smaller raptor)The video card will be ok....but if it were me I'd splurge for the 640mb video ram version.go with the 550PSU...if not a 700 (if you're thinking about upgrading to a better gpu in the future)Are you going to be into overclocking? You should hehe... but if not, you might want to go with the E6700...since it adds money, you could skip the Raptor and keep the 320mb gpu ram. Faster CPU above all else

yeah but i read on Toms Hardware you dont get much peforamance improvement going from 320 to 640 RAM in the GPU and the most bang for your buck is with a 320 MEG GPU.also i believe the 6700 is only about 10% faster than the 6600, and no i do not intend to overclock.
