Which of these would suit my system?

Most importantly, will it fit too? :)
 
If you are set on Nvidia and are planning on overclocking the 770 lightning is the best one available.
 
FSX is usually CPU bound iirc, whilst you'll see gains when moving on to a 770 I'd say you're better off getting a 670/680, a decent cooler for your cpu and overclocking that which will likely net you better results.

Obviously if you are not comfortable overclocking then get the 770. What resolution are you playing at?

My CPU is already overclocked to 4.3, I run at 1920 x 1080
 
I'd say get an msi gtx 680 power edition for £275 from here. The 770 is simply a rebadged 680 with slightly higher clocked memory.

I've had a lot of problems with ATI in the past that have had no fixes for over a year for example and FSX seems to prefer an nvidia card, sorry boys. :D

ATI doesn't exist. And AMD drivers are fine. If you had problems with ATI then thats a shame. But you have never used an AMD card.
