I have $500.00 to spend on a new rig for fsx/fs9 and cfs3. I found this ibuypower rig for $499.00 on newegg. I don't know if I could build one for cheaper or not.
I assume anything would be better them my p4 with 1 gig ram and a 128mb ati9800 agp card.
Any opinions would be helpful. Thanks - here are the specs on the ibuypower one:
