Ok now I know I have read too many Game Informer mags with a topic title like that :0

I was going to recommend going to the 680i sli motherboard instead of the 650i, but found an article where there really isn't that much of a difference between the 650i and the top of the line for the 6 series, the 680i sli: http://www.techspot.com/review/45-nvidia-n...li-vs-680i-sli/. But, for a few more dollars, you can move up to the 680i and give yourself some additional flexibility in the future (like if you want to ever install two 8800GTX's in SLI mode): http://www.nextag.com/serv/main/buyer/OutP..._aid=1482878213.PSU looks good. I have the 1K PSU. I believe I read somewhere that you should have at least 750w psu in today's systems. Your system will run FS9 without any problems and you shouldn't have too many problems with FSX as long as you keep the sliders low and AI aircraft at a low percentage.Looks like you'll have a great system. Have fun putting it together.Jim

Don't get any parts until you have the money together and at that time get them all at the same time.

>Don't get any parts until you have the money together and at>that time get them all at the same time.>Exactly. In 6 months, when you buy the final items, you may find the prices are reduced quite a lot. If you buy in one go in 6 months you may find that you save quite a bit than buying few items each month
