FSX and gaming in general have taken a back seat the past several years, but today they jumped up front and I ordered the PC I could only have dreamed of in the past. How'd I do? Any suggestions/helpful criticisms welcome. Most items should be here tomorrow, hopefully I can get most put together over the weekend.

Intel i7-3960x
ASUS Rampage IV Extreme Motherboard
2x EVGA GTX 680 FTW's
Corsair 16gb (4gb x 4gb) DDR3 2400 Memory
2x Corsair Force Series SSD's (240gb and 480gb)
Windows 7 Ultimate
ASUS Xonar STX Sound Card

Looks Amazing!... :D...!

...the only other thing we need to know now, is the final cost of this Supercomputer, so that we can also dream of having one, in the far distant future!.. ;)...!

Paul...Pentium P4... :-*... ;D...!

Final cost is TBD, still holding out hope they will forget to charge a few items ;)

My second computer had a pentium 4 HT, and it ran off that processor for a loooooonnng time. Intel did a fine job with those 8-)

What did them bad boys cost? I'd like to go SSD, soon as they get cheap enough and big enough...

Decided to go with 32gb of ram, also bought 3 Asus 27in 3d monitors. Other than that I don't think anything changed. Put her all together a few days ago.

Here she is:

Still working on FSX, the photoreal America is awesome though. FSX in 3d from the cockpit is incredible.
