Building a new system on a Budget.Just wondering if everything looks like it belongs together .Will be using mainly for Flight Sims.Anything I can improve on with out adding a lot of money to the project.Wondering if it will be enough HP to run P3D v4.5, with ad-dons ,like , Orbix,Rex SkyForce 3d,Rex Soft Clouds,UT Live and PMDG 737-800.

The build seems very expensive for what you are getting... You could get much better performance for much less. Personally, I'd go down the AMD road, like this:

Budget build?

Why are you getting a $400 motherboard? What does that board get you that a normal $100-150 board doesn't have? I would change the board and put the money into the video card.

The case and cooler are also over priced. You don't need a 750W psu. The G3 isn't a bad unit but not everyone loves them. You might want to look around for a 550-650w unit that is cheaper and better.
