I just put together a new system and need to find some games that can utilize what I have now. My last game was flight simulator, which I still use, but does not use the super high res. I have now. I am also looking for a good controller for these games, such as a joystick. Not really good at using a keyboard to control games. System build is basically a i5-4670k, Asus Maximus and (2) EVGA 780's SLI, with (3) 27" 2560 x 1440 monitors. I am guessing it can play some decent games, but just have no idea what is really out there that will use it all. I enjoy flying type games and need something that is intuitive and easy to learn. Any thoughts? Thank you, Larry T.

By the way Battlefield has planes (sorry forgot the fly part) i don't know much about fly games...or if there is any out there that will use your system fully

Check out Steam, games like Counter Strike, Half Life, Grand Theft Auto, the Thief series, Saints Row, Call of Duty series, Left 4 Dead series, Portal, Far Cry 3, The Elder Scrolls series aka Hammerfell, Skyrim, Oblivion and Elder Scrolls Online.

Your running a fairly decent build and it will be able to run most modern games at ultra easily. Especially with 2 780s in SLI. I also recommend getting the Nvidia "GeForce Experience" program

Thanks, gets me going in a direction. Thinking of going to an i7-4770k, but not sure if it will bring anything significant to the build. Any controller suggestions?

An i5 should be fine for now. I believe that i7's are not really for gaming, they're more for rendering videos and models for animated movies and games and such. I have not had much of a look over the system but it looks good from what I have seen.

That's cool. Really don't want to pull apart what I just built a week ago, but was wondering if I had made a mistake by saving a hundred on such an important part???

Not really, If you want to upgrade core in a few years then I think an i7 would be good but for now there is no point wasting your money, the PC is a pretty solid build especially with dual GTX 780 3GB's. If your a PC gamer the only thing that you will really need to upgrade over the next 2 - 3 years is HDD.

This could never be more true HDD are becoming useless upgrading to a SSD (keeping you HDD for random storage) is a great choice, SSD are cheaper at lower Storage so getting a 250g for around $200 and putting your OS / fav games (2 to 3 ) on it will make you a VERY happy camper.

Primary drive is a Samsung EVO 250 gb, then a HDD. Was one of my first considerations. HDD's are a thing of the past....

calling them a thing of the past is a understatement its like Cavemen and Cyborgs.

Also Hard Drives are nowhere near a thing of the past, being a game developer and enthusiast that just had to buy another 4TB Cav Black I can assure you of that. They are great for slave drives but as your primary partition they're old tech.
