So, I've finally decided (or am pretty sure) that I am going to go with the following CPU and Mobo:

CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115215&cm_re=i5_processor-_-19-115-215-_-Product
Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131405&cm_re=ASUS_P7P55D-_-13-131-405-_-Product

Now, these are the reasons I decided to choose the two. For one, the CPU is said to be very easy to overclock along with the mobo. The mobo has a nice clean layout and looks to be pretty simple to install (remember, I'm a first time builder). The final reason is that there is actually a sight that tells how to overclock with the exact same mobo and CPU so that should be a breeze after a bit of research. So, does anyone have any objections, comments, tips, or anything really anything? I'll take any help at all. Thanks

(I also took Tommy's advice in the previous thread, so this isn't meant to be a repeat)

Thumbs up on the CPU, I mean with the defualt 2.66 ghz you should still get a nice performance in Fs9. Once you decide to upgrade to fsx overclocking will be the answer and shouldnt be a problem. Plus its quite good when you are trying to stay under budget. I mean my list consists of alot, I dont even think I included DVD-ROM drives yet . I wonder how I planned on installing fs9 nuts
