2500K (save yourself $100 vs. the 2600K) get a p8p67 board (so you can OC) your ram isn't fast enough get at least 1600 (dual channel onyl for the p8p67) + get the GTX 570 forget that 560. Get thos things and you'll be laughing.

Let's not get ahead of our selves. His first system mentioned was okay besides being an H67. The 570 would send things over budget quickly... The Twin Frozr 560 is no slouch. Especially considering the price gap and the FSX environment.

I agree, his first setup was pretty good except the motherboard.Here the motherboard I got. Asus P8P67 Prohttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131703&cm_re=asus_p8p67_pro-_-13-131-703-_-ProductYou could also get the Asus P8P67 board too. Its the pro version except it doesn't have a usb 3.0 adapter that goes into the back of the case. Its not that important as the motherboard comes with a few usb 3.0 ports.Here is the non pro versionhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131706&cm_re=asus_p8p67-_-13-131-706-_-ProductYou won't be able to order from here because you are in inda but its just for referenceNotice the boards I linked had "P67" in the name. P67 is the chipset that allows you to overclock. If are going to get an "K" version of a cpu such as the 2500K or 2600K a "P67"board is a must if you want to take advantage of the K versions which allows you to overclock

Why do you care more about the seller than your satisfaction with having the correct mobo suited for overclocking etc.?Buy the "P" series, NOT the "H" series, please!

Ya and motherboards are a pain to replace. You basically remove every component in your computer. You really should buy a P67 board because your K version CPU is wasted money. You CAN NOT overclock. The highest you could overclock a 2600K on an H67 is from 3.8 to 3.88 ish which is almost nothing. You really should get a lower end gpu like a GTX 460 and get a P67 board.
