How will this work for FSX and X-Plane? This prices out about 1500. DO I NEED TO OVERCLOCK TO GET VERY GOOD RESULTS???

Case is too small for a 570, as ot is the same length as the 480 and 580. I recommend the HAF 932 or HAF X or the Antec 902/1200. Cyberpower OC for you, so just select their highest OC available. Your 80Gb SSD won't be big enough for OS and FSX, as cyberpower install OS on first HD. So with the OS you'll only have about 40-45GB free. Not enough for FSX as they say you shouldn't fill past a certain point. I recommend a 120GB SSD instead. If there is Corsair or mushkin ram available, get this as A-Data aren't the best quality.
