Hi !I want to build myself a low budget pc for FS9 only. I want a PC that can handle FS9 perfectly for around 300-400$ (only the components as I will assemble it myself). With this in mind tell me what you think about it, as I said I'm not interested in FSX at all so I don't want an expensive gaming pc. Thanks a lot !Newegg.ca [*]Pioneer 20X DVD

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll look at this when/if I get this PC ;)

I found another video card that looks better than the one I posted before:Asus EN9500GT MAGIC/DI/512M nVidia GeForce 9500GT Chipset (550Mhz) 512MB (800Mhz) DDR2 Dual Display PCI-Express 2.0 Graphics Card Any advices and suggestions will be appreciated !

I don't know enough about computers to build one myself and that's too bad because I know that you can have something a lot better if you build it yourself. Anyway, I found another system that may do the job because as I said all I want is a PC that can handle FS9 perfectly and that's it no need for FSX, I prefer FS9. What I could do is buy this system (I'm pretty sure the video card is bad) and I could buy another video card for exemple I found one on Canada Computers:ASUS EN8400GS SILENT/HTP/256M nVidia 8400GS Chipset 256MB DDR2 Dual Display PCI-Express Graphics CardAnd the system:Processor AMD Athlon 64 x2 5200+ (2x 512k Cache) Motherboard AMD AM2 690/740 Chipset Memory 2G Dual Channel (2x 1G DDR2 667 PC5300) Graphics ATI Radeon X1200 Hard Drive 250G SATAII 7200rpm Optical Drive 18x DVD

Following all your suggestions I found another system at 474$ (taxes included): Dual Core Pentium Intel E2200 2,2 GHz DDR2 2 GB 320 GB SATA Geforce 7100 NVidia Windows Vista Family Premium This one has a video card but I don't know if it's good for FS2004.Thanks again for your help guys, I'm progressing ;)

As I said, I'm not an expert so why should I keep in mind that the graphic card is an onboard chipset, what is the difference ? If I don't want to spend too much and I only want to run FS9 is it ok ?

Hi,I need to buy a new computer because I can't use my old laptop to fly in FS. I did some research and I found a computer within my budget and I think it's a good but I need some advice. I want to be able to use FS2004 and maybe FSX (not really important), low budget (under 500$ CDN taxes & shipping included) and I don't need a monitor. This is what I found on Canada Computers:Visionary VK-100-AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+ 2,6 GHz Dual Core-2 GB DDR2 800 MHz (2 x 1 GB)-320 GB SATA-ATI Radeon HD 3200-Power Supply 450WPrice: 419.00$Shipping: 19.99$Taxes: 21.95$Final Total: 460.94$Finally, there is no OS included but I have Win XP Pro with my laptop, is there a problem using XP Pro with this system ? (I mean is XP Pro able to use all the ressources of a Dual Core)Thanks a lot for your help, this is really gonna help me as I'm not an expert in computers.Jeremy
