Need help building a system to run FS X

[Red Baron 0]

After several years away from the flight simulator scene I have decided to build my own mid-tower computer for runing flight simulator x.  I need to add that I have a very limited knowladge about computers let alone what to buy to build on for playing flight sim.  I feel very confident in my abality to put the computer together and install the varius operating systems but dont have any ideas on what componets to buy.  Any help or derection I could get would be greatly appriciated.  My goal for this build is to be able to run and get the most I can get out of flight sim x as I can.
