Thanks for the kind words Corey but I don't know better than any of you... I just post a lot more LOL

Dario thanks man! I did a price check of the other one and I came close to 1.000 euro's and I will now check yours, I am willing to spend a lot money now and I want it to work great, I'll keep you posted. @Corey, I thought he'd knew enough and I have faith that it will work out great this time! Thanks for taking the time to read and answer :) I'll go for a P67 and the i5-2500k for sure :)

How much do you want to spend now?

I did what you told me above, I have to spend just over 1.000 euro then, that's all right for me :) Thanks for the help Dario!

You won't regret that

I hope I won't and I don't think I will regret :) Finally a good computer in my hands soon, first holiday and then a new computer! :)

Hey Dario! The PC, pretty muchexactly as you stated above(another cooler and case because they were not able to be delivered within a short time) arrived today!I have installed FSX, Lisbon MAA, FSX SP1 & SP2 and the 737NGX and I tested at Lisbon, with the NGX and in the VC I get about 30 FPS, and when in outside view around 60-70! I am so happy and I can't thank you enough for your advise, this is so much better than before. Just have to install serveral more add-on sceneries etc but I'm sure it will all run fine! Again I thank you so much for taking the time to read and help me getting this PC!

Glad to hear you're happy with it Shane. What did you get exactly please? Have you overclocked already?Well, we have now another member here who had the chance to compare a Phenom II against a 2500K. I don't expect torkemax to stop posting his AMD = Intel crap, but at least I hope this helps people make an educated decision based on facts and guys with personal experience with both processors

@dazz sorry for hijacking the thread for the moment. Would a 4 core be better or an OC for fsx ?

Overclock much better than an extra 4th core for all I know. Have you run any tests comparing both configs?

No I haven't as yet , because I am OC'ing this CPU to 4.0 ghz (right now at 3.9) and still need to test my RAM with memtest86+.

Hi Dario, I have not overclocked it yet and I probably won't because I will most likely break it :). I will post the list tomorrow when I'm on the PC again :)
