I went with the 560 instead of 560ti or 460 (or even worse, 550). I think I made a good choice. :( i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
December 20, 201114 yr 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.

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. :( i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
December 20, 201114 yr 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. Jeff Thomson
December 20, 201114 yr Author Better to get too much, than too little and end up having to upgrade later.Exactly what I was thinking! :( i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
December 20, 201114 yr Author What's that for?1 x ($49.99) IOLO SYSTEM MECHANIC OEM - OEM$49.99:)No idea. It comes with my Windows 7 license, and it's free. I don't think I'm going to use it anyway. :( i7-6700K @ 4.5 GHz, 16 GB DDR4-2400 MHz, GTX 1070 8GB
