Buy a good processor cooler and run the i7 860 with a core speed of ~ 4 GHz. Then you are set. :(

Absolutely. Then buy two more hard drives - put FSX on one and the operating system on the other. Use the 1TB drive for storage & backups.

for 737pic you may have to upgrade.see:-http://www.wilcopub.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=support
