You can do that with what you've got, if you set it up right... as in keeping all your sliders at realistic levels and not fully maxed out.  You've got two cores more than I do, and I can get frames close to 30.

Final configeeration i build yesterday, was $2345.00

And if you want decent AA, ditch the ATI for a GTX 500 series. 50 FPS ? Your dreaming.

Did you ever get the computer to do 50+ FPS (consistently)? If you do (and you never will) you could patent the setup and start selling it.

I don't understand why you are trying to waste 3,000 on a computer that has a dual 590GTX 3gb when FSX can only recognize one. Not to mention that your not having the factory overclock your i7 for you.

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.
