He wants to thank everyone who helped him make this decision, and can't wait for the parts to arrive.

lol

Seriously now though. I went with the 560 instead of 560ti or 460 (or even worse, 550). I think I made a good choice.

Looks like a nice setup. I've been scoping out new innards to replace my 4gig Q6600 on an MSI mb(even though it runs NGX at 18-25 FPS) and had been checking out that MSI mobo. Mine popped right in and has been running flawlessly for 3 years.One question: had you ever considered getting an SSD or a Velociraptor as your C: drive for FSX?Good luck and keep us posted once you get up and running--I'm especially interested to hear about that GTX 560.

Thanks Jack. I'm not considering an SSD because I find the technology very expensive. Think when DVDs were released. Drives/Players were so expensive! But today, you can find some cheap ones for like $19 like my ASUS DVD Drive.I'll let y'all know how it goes, and (most likely) if I need any help I'll post them here. :(

Isn't 600Watts more than enough for a 2600?

You can never have too much power.Sorry that was a bad pun.Better to get too much, than too little and end up having to upgrade later.

Exactly what I was thinking! :(

No idea. It comes with my Windows 7 license, and it's free. I don't think I'm going to use it anyway. :(
