Thanks for all the advice so far guys :) Still can't quite decide now between SB-E or IB build since everyone seems to have conflicting opinions on them, especially with regards to FSX performance :Thinking: Also unsure on RAM, would you recommend 1866MHz sticks (max M'board can support I think) or those 1600MHz above?

I heard the 670 is much better value since it's barely slower and £100 cheaper? :Thinking:

Yeah I'll be using it for other gaming too :) FSX will probably be the main purpose thought so I'm not sure on CPU choice. I've heard that Ivy Bridge (2770K or 3770K) is actually better in FSX, with the money saved invested in other parts of the rig? Hard to find a definite answer, always people saying different things! :Thinking:
