I pretty much 2nd what Ulf said....I'd skip the water cooling and get this cooler:http://www.crazypc.com/products/ultra-120-1366-50985.htmlOverclock the CPU to 4.0 Ghz with that cooler and also get the 1600 ram....oh might as well get the GTX285 toohttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814130446A solid power supply will help too:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16817703005http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16817139006FS9 performance will be smokin' goodFSX will do pretty well if you get the CPU @ 4.0, otherwise 3.2 - 3.6 will be decent in large cities, as long as you don't run intense payware

He has 2 HDDs in that configuration UlfB. It says 500x2. So it must be a RAID 0 setup. I think it might be good to un-RAID them and use 1 drive for Windows and other apps/games and then 1 for FS.
