2GB is fine for up to 1920x1600.

RAMdisk = virtual drive on RAM I have no idea if FSX gets much smoother when compared to SSD, but remember RAM is a volatile memory, so everything in it will be deleted when you turn off your PC.

Yeah... for 5760x1080 get a 4GB 670, though if you are going to play other games than FSX and are interested in highest settings, you'll need 2 670s if you want to have 60+ FPS.

Haswell will apparently be 10% faster per clock than Ivy Bridge.

Oh well, if it costs the same then yeah. Though, I wouldn't really advice you to get 16GB since you'll never use more than 6.

750W is rather overkill for that build, 650W is more than enough and will save you some money. Also, 1866mhz RAM, why? You wouldn't even notice it over 1333mhz one, so just get 1333 or 1600mhz and save yourself some money. As for the CPU cooler, I'd go for something bigger like Noctua NH C14 (or D14 if the case can fit it), so you have more room to OC in the future.

It is better yes, and saves you money. Do you really need 512GB SSD? Are you sure you can even fill up the 256GB one just with important games (eg FSX) and OS?.

I wouldn't do that if I were you. I would put FSX + OS + any other game you want (if you have spare room) on the SSD; that way, you'll notice much more difference vs having OS and FSX on separate drives. IMO Velociraptor is overpriced, a waste of money if you have FSX and OS on the SSD, you won't notice that much difference vs a 7200RPM HDD, so do yourself a favour and put FSX and OS on the SSD and buy a 7200RPM drive such as WD Caviar Blue.

I have a good realistic set of both ground and air vibrations if you are interested. http://www.mediafire...muql6036pw5viqq Just place that where you want and import the camera when in FSX. You can also copy the effects to the rest of your cameras if you want.

What you bought is fine, it should run very well, so as long as you are fine with the mATX mobo, don't change anything.

Wow, I have all my stuff installed and it takes about 500GB ;_; I will get a 240GB SSD but I will keep two HDDs, one for minor programs that don't need to take the SSD's precious space and the other one for storage.

I hope you are aware of the fact that Maximus V Gene is a micro ATX board. I think the Sabertooth is the best mobo to overclock, from what I've read on its reviews. I'll get the Maximus V Formula myself though.

Yeah, what Aamir says is true. You should really build it yourself, it is really easy plus you earn the experience and save a few hundred $ which you can spend in other components. Also, if you build it yourself you know you aren't getting refurbished hardware or stuff like that...

Love that video, and coming soon... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Edifc-mQVtI
