Trade that HD up for a 300gb Velociraptor 10000rpm drive.  The only weak spot in your machine as I can tell is that 7200 drive...Nice rig even with it!

Cool system. Should run Windows 7 very well and FSX well.

Raptor is OK, I prefer SSD since they're much much much faster although with less capacity.

A 500g drive is nice, to be sure, but I recommended the 300g Raptor 10,000rpm for its performance advantages over the 7200rpm one.  Its a very real advantage.  NNN's suggestion of a Solid State Drive is an even better idea, but WOW...expensive!

Enjoy your new rig.  And set it up by St. Nick's tweak guide.  You cant go wrong.
