With your budget you should go with an ASUS P5E3 DELUXE which has the new X38 chipset. You also forgot to mention RAM: go with 2 x 2GB kits (I couldn't find any DDRIII modules being sold separately) of DDRIII at 1600Mhz or 1800Mhz. I would go with 2 x CELLSHOCK MICRON 8-7-6-21 Dual Channel 2GB. You should also consider Crucial modules.
Intel Q6600 @ 3.2Ghz cooled w/ Zalman 9700
4GB G. Skill DDRII @ 800Mhz
512Mb AMD/ATI HD2900XT
Creative Audigy 2 ZX
Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit
FSX Deluxe version + Acceleration
