If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

"Just" a core i5?  ;)

Looks like a nice machine.  My quad I bought last Xmas has so far kept up with everything I threw at it.  I still regret installing FSX and not FS9.  I miss all my add on planes and places.

I was going to opt for the i7 but it is just so much more. Plus with the liquid cooling I should have no problem overclocking if I even need to do so. I am thinking I wont. Eventually I want to go with a solid state drive somewhere down the line for windows. I heard it makes a big difference.

I'm surprised your two HD's are 7,200 and not 10,000rpm.  Maybe you could upgrade one of those?  That might be cheaper, although I'm not on top of the prices of fast HD's and solid state drives.
