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.
So far I have only bought:
Speakers- Logitech X-240 2.1
Keyboard- Logitech G15 2nd Generation Gaming
Monitor- LG 23" Class Widescreen LCD
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
Operating System- Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
Video Card- Sapphire Vapor-X HD ATI RADEON HD 4870 2GB GDDR5 Dual Dual-Link DVI HD Audio Shader Model 4.1 800 stream processor PCI-Express 2.0
Hard Drive- Western Digital Caviar Black (WD1001FALS) 1000GB (1TB) SATAII 7200RPM 32MB Cache
Blu-Ray- LG CH08LS10 Black 8X/Blu-Ray Read /16X DVD-Writer SATA Lightscribe Retail
CPU Cooling- Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro REV.2
Sound Card- Creative Sound Blaster X-FI TITANIUM Fatality PRO
And here's what I have so far (you can see the crappy computer I am using now, down below)

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,
