True dat. I know a lot of folks have used the 2700k in FSX builds, which is essentially the same chip, just an extra 100MHz stock. But they both overclock extremely well.

This isn't the first build request I've seen here that revolved around FSX. I'm curious about it. Is it for hardcore pilots only, or is there actually a game element to it that can be learned without actual flight lessons?

Our IT guy at work built a pc for FSX so I will have to ask him. He actually has an app on his ipad that is a control panel for it too. He said he learned to fly with it and then the first time he went in the air the instructor let him fly. He said he wasn't smooth but he knew exactly what he was doing.

There isn't really a "game" aspect to it. They have different flights and scenarios that you can fly but its not a game like COD and other games that have different levels. It can be very realistic if you have a high performance PC and tons of add-ons. If you Youtube "FSX HD" you can see edited videos that people create that look very realistic. I know a few private pilots that use it for down time when they are not flying.
