Hi everybody, My first post so apologies if in the wrong section.Basically, the time has come for me to bin my 8 year old laptop and poor FS2004 performance and buy a new PC and FSX!My budget, I'm afraid is only around £600-£700 as I'm currently moving home.Obviously I'd love Ultra High settings, but I realise I won't get that, but I'd like as high as possible :). All I use a PC for is basic photo editing, music, Football Manager and Flight sims! All I tend to fly is a VC-10 around the UK (I happen to work on the RAF VC-10 as a job.)I looked into building my own, but being a complete beginner I've decided to look around at pre-built PCs, I've had a look around a couple of places and I think I've narrowed it down to these four computers:1. Titan Exodus2. Titan Predatoror 3. a quote from Arbico.co.uk:NZXT GAMMA STEEL BLACK GAMING ATX2 x 120MM CASE FANSXilence 580W DUAL RAIL PSUAMD PHENOM X6 1075T (AM3, 3.00GHZ, 9MB CACHE) CPUASUS M4N68T-M V2 Motherboard ( Upgrade to Asus M4A77T/USB3 for extra £30, this motherboard will give you two spare slot for RAM upgrade in future, also 2 x USB3.0 ports on back )4GB DDR3 1333MHZ RAMNVIDIA 460GTX 1GB PCI-E GRAPHICS CARDSONY OPTIARC 24X SATA DVD BURNER1000GB S-ATA 7200RPM Hard Drive2 x USB2.0 Ports on Front4 x USB2.0 Ports on Back10/100/1000 Gigabit Network6 Chanel HD AudioMICROSOFT 64BIT WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUMWarranty: 2 Years Return To Base (1st Year Parts & Labour, 2nd Year Labour Only)for £695. 4. Another quote, only slight difference to above:NZXT GAMMA STEEL BLACK GAMING ATX2 x 120MM CASE FANSCOOLERMASTER 500W DUAL RAIL PSUAMD PHENOM X6 1075T (AM3, 3.00GHZ, 9MB CACHE) CPUASUS M4N68T-M V2 Motherboard4GB DDR3 1333MHZ RAMNVIDIA GTS 450 1GB PCI-E GRAPHICS CARDSONY OPTIARC 24X SATA DVD BURNER1000GB S-ATA 7200RPM Hard Drive2 x USB2.0 Ports on Front4 x USB2.0 Ports on Back10/100/1000 Gigabit Network6 Chanel HD AudioMICROSOFT 64BIT WINDOWS 7 HOME PREMIUMWarranty: 2 Years Return To Base (1st Year Parts & Labour, 2nd Year Labour Only)For £625.Are these reasonable prices etc? Feedback?Thank you for your time, look forward to responses!Andy.

Avoid AMD for FSXThe best option there is the Titan Exodus + GTX 460 for 692 pundsIf you can stretch for a Titan Spinosaur + GTX 460 for 880 pounds that would be even better

Thanks for your reply Dazz :). I've decided to build my own, your signature being part of the inspiration!It'll take a bit longer to have, my budget will therefore increase. Please have a look at my new topic when I finish writing it up!Regards,Andy.
