Hello, new here. I recently decided to buy myself a new computer. My budget was around $1200, but knowing me, I would go overboard and double that.

Case- Coolermaster HAF 932 Full Tower Chassis


And I am waiting for these parts to be shipped to me:

Processor- Intel Core I5 750 Quad Core Lynnfield LGA1156 2.66GHZ 8MB Cache Retail Box

Ram- Corsair XMS3 CMX8GX3M4A1600C9 8GB DDR3 4X2GB DDR3-1600 CL 9-9-9-24 Core I5 Dual Channel Memory Kit

Power Supply- Corsair TX750W 750W ATX 12V 60A 24PIN ATX Active PFC 140MM Fan

Mouse- Coolermaster Sentinel Advance Twin Laser 8 Buttons 5600DPI USB with Adjustable Lighting


And I am looking at getting these parts in the future:

Motherboard- Asus Maximus III Formula Socket 1156 Intel P55 Chipset CrossfireX / 3-Way SLI Dual-Channel Dual-Channel DDR3 2133(O.C.)/2000(O.C.)/1600/1333/1066Mhz 2x PCI-Express 2.0 x16 GigaLAN 8 CH SupremeFX X-Fi Audio 6x + 4x SATA 3.0Gb/s + 1x eSATA ATX

I am not sure which Video Card to have, I want to run Flight Simulator X on it... I also heard that I need RAM more than I need a Video Card, is that true?

What do you think?

Thanks,
Whisper91
