If you are not planning in gaming in more than 1 screen the GTX 680 4gb is not going to bring any significant difference compare to the 2gb version. You have selected an i7-3770k that can be overclock and would benefit FSX but you need to upgrade your cpu cooler. I'd recommend getting a pre-overclock system from PCS to avoid any instability issues if you do it yourself. The kingston SSD 240gb has similar performance to the intel 520 but it is around £15 cheaper and as a secondary drive I would select a caviar black which is faster than the standard HDD you selected. Don't forget silver warranty for £5 :)
