I don't get it. The guy comes in asking for advice yet somehow its turned into more or less dissing his choices and making it seem as if hes showing off?
Not everyone knows 1200w is overkill for example and since hes saved two years maybe hes just trying to get the best at the moment for the next two yrs down the line? My only beef really is the lack of bigger storage other than the SSD and the 1200w psu which is not needed and would not be effeciently used at that wattage level.

Thanks man, dont worry bout it, he's obviously a little boy who's jealous, maybe your right about the PSU but hey who care's, its not harming my rig. And last week when i had a few days off, i flew from Manchester to LAX and it was amazing. This Saturday im gonna do Heathrow to Ibiza, (with UK200 scenery) B..E..A..Utiful
 
OK i can confirm that i did not go with the 590, as it was for FSX i decided i did not need a high end GPU. As FSX guzzles as much CPU power as you can throw at it. I hwent for the Evga Superclocked 560 ti, its the memory clock speed! its right up there, running @ 4.2ghz which is what i required, but it runs if not matches the 580
