Hey all, so I have been doing a couple of flights today in my Southwest 737 and LUVing it. BUT I have not been LUVing FSX.......I just bought me a new GOLD version of FSX because my previous one was all scratched up. When I was doing my flights I had never notices how HORRIBLE FSX runs and how slow it is to load things. I mean I have descent frame rates, but the loading of the cockpit and then outside view.....SOOO SLOW....when I go to the out side view it shows me the seats of the plane and then slowly I can start to see southwest colors and when I go back into the cockpit I have a gray screen then it all loads the cockput after awhile. Plus 1 second there is no clouds and then little by little there will eventually be a sky full of clouds. I am just getting annoyed with all of this and would like some help for some hardware upgrade. Here what I have nowMotherboard- p8p67-M proCPU- INTEL i7 2600k (3.4GHZ)Memory- G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 4GBHarddrive- not sure....all I know is I have had it for at least 5 years so old.Graphic Card- EVGA 9800 GTX+ 512mb DDR3So here are the plans so far....Get GTX 560TIGet Hard Drive of 1tb (not sure what kind or anything)Get SSDGet 8 or up to 16GB memoryHelp learning how to overclock CPU!!!!So here is my real question.....does these seem like a good setup (with the updated components) and what kind of hard drive, SSD, Memory could I get????

Motherboard- p8p67-M pro

Change the motherboard to THIS. That board will give you PCIe3 compatibility AND Ivy Bridge future compatibility.
