Go with a second gen sandy bridge i5 -k. They are very overclockable and much cheaper and hyper threading is no use for FSX or gaming in general, really. Third gen is less OC than second gen, so if you're going with liquid cooling, second gen is fine.

I am avoiding 2nd gen i-5s because i did a wholw youtube vid comparing my current processor to the 2500k and in just about every benched field the 8120 with windows update scored higher
