I have some specs for a gaming computer for overclocking to about 4 GHz and I was wonder how well it would do with these components: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3xT7l

The system is primarily designed around FSX, which is CPU intensive and little FPS is generated by the graphics card. Is there anything that may not be great for that setup/better parts I could substitute? Also,will the power supply unit be okay for this build, and offer connections for all the parts? I am a bit new to this and don't fully understand the connections/where they go yet.
