Hi guys, I’ve been reading in the background for many months now planning my newest pc. I know you get a million of these threads but I was hoping for a little advice from people far more knowledgeable than myself before I go and spend what is for me at least a heck of a lot of money on my new pc. My primary reason for buying a new pc is for flight sims, Id love to max out the DCS series and FSX with many demanding photorealistic add-ons. Il also be playing shooters and other games but most importantly using it as an everyday pc for playing music and surfing the web etc. I have a 24" iiyama 1920 x 1080 monitor and a pretty decent sound set up compromising of an Onkyo amp with 5.1 speakers. Im not too clued up but im not a total plum either so I will appreciate any opinions or advice. Here is my planned set up so far, i went with the GTX 670 and put the saved money towards a bigger SSD to put all the scenery etc on as im not sure the 680 is worth the extra money for me atm and I’ll probably update the card in 18 months or so and start thinking multi monitors then anyway....

1TB Seagate barracuda

Thank you in advance.
