I'm finally going to build my new rig, just wanted to make sure that I have DVA's approval.

Processor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072 Going with the 2500k because FSX doesn't take advantage of hyper threading, good over-clocker too.

Looks nice! I am curious, however, as to why you chose air cooling over liquid? Is there any advantage?

Water cooling seemed unnecessary to me. I'd rather just have a nice fan cooler and be done with it.

Pretty similar to my setup - which works awesome! Good choices.
Good luck on the build and have fun!

Everyone think i5 in lieu of 7 is an okay choice?

Yes, FSX doesn't take advantage of hyperthreading, so you get more bang for your buck with an i5
EDIT: Whoops, you already knew that...

Randy, when it comes out it will be years until there are good addons for it- a majority of products will be for FSX. So I'll upgrade in half a decade.
