For the price you are better off on 2 8800GTX's although FSX is worthless in SLi unless you are running a massive high resolution and 16-32x AA and then its only clarity, not frames

and, the water cooling system shown in that link above is a joke. The Zalman 9700NT will cool a quad better on air than that el'cheapo water system that was old news and really outdated several years ago

Plus I'm pretty sure 780i's only support DDR2 1066 memory.

Ya......ok ;D

Yeah I'm smelling something stinky in here. My new rig is pretty comparable to the specs listed above and at 1440x900 resolution I get between 24 to 55 fps depending on my chosen settings. I have only played this game 3 or 4 times so maybe I could get more out of it. . Now I have a ton of crap running in the background but I dont think they are capable of costing me over 240 + fps.

Here are the specs on my rig.

Intel Qx9770 3.2ghz quad core processor
Asus maximus extreme motherboard
8 gigs reaperx dual channel pc 10666 ddr3 memory @ 1333 mhz
EVGA 9800 GX2 1gb ddr3 graphics card
Seagate barracuda 1 terabyte hard drive
Ultra X3 1600 watt power supply
Coolermaster cosmos full tower case
Liquid cooling throughout.
Vista Ultimate 64 bit

My Toy,
I actually threw in a Xfi SC, another 8800GTX for some Quake and 2 27" Acers  and 4 gigs of XMS PC8500 with a Q6700 clocked to 2.97 coupled with 6 Raptors and a silverstone 800w PSU now :) FSX Runs quite nice now, not because of SLI, But because Nick Got it that way , with his endless typing ;)
