My advice, save your money. Drop the 2 cards you only need one. Let them OC your processor and get DDR3 with 1600Mhz or above, you don't need more than 12GB. Your not going to see 50 fps in FSX with all the addons that you want to use, I think you are blindsided by all of the videos on youtube, that are heavily edited and sped up achieve that feel high frames.
I spent 1100 bucks on my rig,
i7 2600k OCd 4.2 Ghz
GTX560ti 1GB
8GB DDR3 1600Mhz
750GB HD.

I droped the idea of 2 cards because of that advise from you and others on other post i have made over at Aerosoft and FlyTampa. I basically started this thread on here, Aerosoft, and FlyTampa. Ive gotten more feedback on FT though. Oh well. Yea i will definitly drop one of the cards because first of all, im not going to spend $3 Grand. Thats my limit that includes Taxes. Il have the Factory OC my CPU. I also rather go with AMD ATI Radeon series cards simple because in the past, i had less issues with them then i did with Nividia GeForce cards. Il take your advise into account. Thanks. Still im 4.5 months away from getting it.

Do you have a lot of addons? What kind of fps do you get? Also, did you buy that out of the box? Sorry for the questions, I too am in the market for a new rig.

I use FS9 and FSX. I use FS9 alot more though. Right now i only use FSX for Multiplyer online.
I didnt get a new computer yet. Im 4 1/2 months away from doing that. Im just researching. The computer i have now is in my signiture. I get anywhere from 15-90 FPS depending where i am. I get an average of 30-50 while crusing. I have hundreds of addons including aircraft and scenery. I just have to many so im just going to list the companies i bought them from. BluePrint Simulations, Imagine Sims, FS Dream Team, FlyTampa, Flight Beam, Baja Sim, and for aircraft, QW Sim, Captian Sim, Flight One, Carenado, Eaglesoft, IRIS and thats about it. I may not remember all of them but i can tell you thats mostly all of them. I have about 1000 aircraft and of those 15% are Payware, 75% are freeware, and 10% is AI from World of AI and SKAI V2.3 for FS9.
