Try to get the GTX 660 TI with 3GB VRAM.  X-Plane 10 likes all the VRAM it can get.

 

Also, be sure the power supply provides as stable and ripple-free current as possible.  Not all 750W power supplies are alike.  A "cheap" one will eventually cost you more with hardware failures elsewhere in the system.

Good system! The one thing I recommend is a SSD - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147189.

I am looking at building myself and was wondering what you think of this 750W power supply - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139021

Almost as long as I have...

 

During that time and countless machines built and troubleshot, I learned that the specs alone don't tell you enough.

 

That is for sure, I call around to other techs and look over the forums to see what other people have to say. That will will give me a good start to know if I want to try something new or stick with what i am using..
