Okay, So, Long story short, my gaming PC,( a Quad Core, 8 gigs of RAM, & a GeForce GT120) just miracously turned itself off, and won't come back on... Replaced Power Supply, no go.... I'm done with this thing... I've had probems since I bought it... I shouldn't invest in a new PC, I don't need one.... But I do like FS, and I've played computer games since I was 5..... I am thinking about a system like this.... Ted has already provided a lot of help... He is quite a guy... I'm just throwing this out there incase any of you guys have any input....

System Configuration :Intel i5/i7 Sandy Bridge CPUs :Intel Core i7-2600 Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz Quad Core 8000KIntel i5 / i7 CPU Fans :Coolermaster Hyper101, Vertical, 2 Copper Heat Pipes, Extra Quiet CPU fanIntel i3/i5/i7 Sandy Bridge Motherboards :MSI H67MS-E43 (B3), H67, Onboard Video, DVI & HDMI, SATA3, GB LANDDR3 Dual Channel memory :8GB (2x4GB) PC10600 DDR3 1333 Dual ChannelHard Drives :500.0GB Western Digital 7200RPM SATA2 UDMA 300 16m cacheDVD Recorders :LG 22x DVD Recorder Dual Layer +R/RW -R/RWSound Cards :Realtek HD digital audio (onboard)Network Cards :Ethernet network adapter (onboard)Cases :APEVIA X-Cruiser 2 Black, Side Window, front USB,iEEE,Temp controlCase Fans :Case Fan 120 mm Extra Quiet DC fanPower Supply :Logisys 600W ATX Power Supply, SLI & X-fire ready

Price for all of that is about $840... free shipping, and no tax...
Was thinking about a video card in the $130-150 range... Ted suggested the GeForce GTX 460 SE (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit..... it's at Newegg and is $114 after a mal-in rebate...

Also, that price does not include Windows...... which kind of kills you at $120 a pop....

What do you guys think?

Witt I prefer the "k" version but if the budget is tight, and you don't want to overclock I understand. This rig should work fine in FSX.

Yeah Ted, I do not intend to overclock it... I'd like to keep this system for some time, and would probably like to keep it "on the safe" side... Thanks Again Ted for all the support!

I have a very similar system I just bought: i7 2600 etc. It runs FSX quite well. I am very pleased.
