Are there any X-Plane 10 enthusiasts on the forum that can help me spec a 3-monitor setup? The only purpose of the pc will be to run X-Plane 10, or any other realistic flight simulator.

Was thinking about the following specs, but have zero experience with this sort of thing:
i7-3770K
8GB memory
GTX680 2GB
Crucial M4 256GB
3x iiyama XB2380HS

Please give me your thoughts and comments.

Im using this for flight simulators and it works pretty good:

3x BenQ 24" LCD G2420HD
3x Evga 570 gtx Super clocked
Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1866MHz 32GB CL10
EVGA Z68 FTW E-ATX
Intel Core i7 3770K 3,5Ghz
Saitek X52 pro

This setup works pretty well with DCS games - but I havent tried it with X-plane 10 yet since I cannot find the dvd Sad

shitloads of new stuff in my pc. Cant keep track of it all.

Well I was also thinking about a triple GPU setup but X-Plane barely benefits from SLI configurations so a single GTX680 (maybe with 4GB VRAM) should be the best buy for now. Memory is dirt cheap now so have bumped that up to 16GB, even though X-Plane will not benefit from it now.
