Super SUPER excited...and a bit intimidated, as well...hopefully it will run FSX fairly well :jump:...

my specs are:

i7 2600k 3.3ghz base
Gigabyte P67A-UD3-B3 mobo
Gigabyte GTX560 1gb vidcard
Corsair vengeance 8gb (2x4) DDR3 1600 ram
PC Power 750w psu
Corsair H70 fan
Seagate 1tb HD
Cooler Master HAF 922 case

...what do you guys (and gals) think? I am new to the whole 'custom' pc thing, and have read a ton on the forums here...so If i ask a stupid question, please try to be patient with me:salute:
 
Congratulations on the new system. Yesterday I recieved an almost identically specced pc and what I've seen of FSX so far (which isn't much, just basic fsx + accel no other addons) it is absolutely brilliant. This is coming from a Core 2 Quad Q9550 @ 3,4GHz.

My specs,
Core i7 2600K running at 4,2 GHz (currently 4,4 just haven't run fsx yet)
MSI P67A-GD55
2x MSi GTX460 1gb
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600MHz 2x4gb

I hope you will enjoy your system as much as I've already enjoyed mine for the one day I've had it.
 
Thank you guys very much! Like I said before....don't be surprised if you see me in here more often asking questions....seems as though there is a lot to learn
