After much debating/review reading and saving of hard earned cash I've ordered parts for 'upgrade'. Here we go:

i5 2500K - of course
MSI P67A-GD53 (B3) Mobo - http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/motherboards/2011/05/26/msi-p67a-gd53-b3-review/1
G-Skill 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600Mhz RipjawsX Memory Kit
Gigabyte GTX 560 OC Edition 1GB http://www.funkykit.com/component/content/article/8195-review-gigabyte-geforce-gtx-560-oc-1gb-gddr5.html?start=7

That'll do for now. When finances permit I'll look at a mix of SSD/Samsung Spinpoint HDD

Who knows, I may even finally migrate to FSX!

Pretty much the exact same as my new build, besides a slightly different mobo. And you may as well migrate to FSX, you'll be able to run it pretty well.

Agreed. You'll be able to run FSX better than FS9!
