Everything is fine and good.... although I would not get the water cooling and instead go with good air cooling.

Call me when someone gets a computer which can Run the SSTSIM Concorde flying in formation with the PSS 744 at 2000 ft, Light bloom activated, ORBX And REX With Clouds just above you Also maxed out at 100fps flat. .

And what's wrong with water cooling? But your comp is fine for fs 8-)

Because a $105 (AUD) cooler isn't needed when a decent air cooling will get the job done (4.5ghz) for half the price (perhaps less). 2nd generation Core i-series of processors don't put out a large amount of heat and from what I understand, usually become voltage limited before they get temperature limited. If someone was going with a hex-core Intel, then I might agree with expensive cooling.

But the PC is really really good, watercooling is nice but I don't think it's needed.

Call me when a flight simmer gets their hands on a Cray XT5.

Do not worry. In 10-30 years time your 2 inch Flash disc is going to be 30 times more powerful then that. If you do not believe me look up Apollo and Voyager space programs. 8-)

Great spec that. Should run FSX superbly. I use Scan too. They're very good and fast to deliver.
