HiNo problem to ask and we will help you!Fredrik
One thing I cant get an answer to is...Which would improve gaming overall more, getting a second GTX570 to use togather, or replacing the single 570 with a 590? What would produce better gfx and how?

HiThe best way is to look for test for graphiccard but it depends on what games do play. FSX does not use graphiccard in SLI but BF3 does?Best Fredrik

Yeah now that I can smoothly run without freeze ups every 15-20 minutes I'll be joining an online atc myself. I will grab REX and EZdock once I get around to it because the camera ####### me off a lot in fsx and I just cant justify buying trackir 5. Can u fly with friends in ivao, not in the same cockpit but like fsx multiplayer?

Hey fellas, I hope you don't mind my joining in... But I need some opinions. I've been considering building a new rig myself for some time now, but it would be my first build, but when I look at some of the prebuilt, OC bundles it makes me think.... For around £1200 I can get an i5 2500 with SSD and Gtx580 OC to 4.6 with two year warranty. I would put the OS on the SSD and use my existing Samsung 1 tb HD for FSX. This is from Overclockers UK... My question is, has anyone had any experience with these guys and can offer any advice.

Yes Howard, I live about 6 miles up the road from OCs. If I were to spend any more time there, they would likely start charging me "ground rent". LOL.Cant fault the company, I buy all my components from them. I then get a price for putting it all together. This in turn gives me a full Warranty.Have been dealing with them for several years now. If you ring them up they will discuss your need...they are very helpful. Their price structure is very reasonable also.

Arnie....if it ain't broke, don't fix it...

oopps !! had a double post there so deleted this one, Thats why I get other folk to put my stuff together.

Thanks for the reply matey... I have to admit at being very impressed with their prices, some of their special offers are really excellent. And if their after sales support is good like you say it is, sounds like a done deal!

did u find trackir 5 to be user frndly, and easy to get set up for fsx? I want it but the vid I saw of it, the guy was showing it and the camera was moving way too far and it looked like hard to get right?

Sure, Track IR is a doddle, honestly. You can suss it straight out of the box as they say!
