Thanks Mark:
Well... I have been doing more research and I think I will have a local computer company build me a computer that is very similar but with a few changes.

I have two questions for anyone in the know about this build:

1. Is this motherboard good?:  ASRock Z87 Extreme3 ATX LGA1150

2. As far as storage is it enough storage to have windows 7 on a 120GB SSD, have FSX on a second 120GB SSD, and have evrything else on a 1TB HDD?

Below are the details of the computer:

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor 
CPU Cooler: Corsair H60 54.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler  
Motherboard: ASRock Z87 Extreme3 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory  
Storage: Sandisk Extreme 120GB 2.5" Solid State Disk 
Storage: Sandisk Extreme 120GB 2.5" Solid State Disk 
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive  
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 650 2GB Video Card   
Wireless Network Adapter: Rosewill RNX-N250PCe 802.11b/g/n PCI-Express x1 Wi-Fi Adapter  
Case: Thermaltake Commander MS-I Epic Edition (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair Professional 750W 80 PLUS Gold Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply 
Optical Drive: LG GH24NS95 DVD/CD Writer
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 (OEM) (64-bit)

Thanks for any replies :)
The general thinking is that windows 7 should be on its own drive, and your games especially FSX on another separate drive.


So if I am on a buget, which I am, would you suggest I nix one of the two 120GB SSD's and just go with a single 120GB SSD plus a 1TB hard drive?
Thanks :)
