I'm of a mind that a little bump of the budget for the Vid card, or even scaling back on the hardware would serve you well on this rig. While the SSD is all well and good, would you trade graphics goodness for load times? I'm running a GTX 470 right now on a much tamer rig and get great results on everything but ROF, which looks fantastic, but chokes on my dual core. (balance is the key Grasshopper)

My main concern, is we don't have SOW yet, so we don't know how top heavy the programming is. We know that it will have pretty strong demands on graphics, but how much processing power and memory will all of the FM, DM, etc. improvements need?

Just a couple of thoughts. (I know you only wanted to hear about the cards themselves, but a balanced system will serve you well, especially with a flight sim)

Edit: Oh yeah, thanks maclean, I forgot about the PS, I might even go for an 800 or 850 to give you plenty of overhead for upgrades.
