Ryan,Thanks for the quick reply. Do you think I can put all those components together into a PC for under 2000? If I'm not a DIY, which PC companies do you recommend I check for pricing?

I've got FSX -- still in the box, but need a computer. I'm a pilot and I want to practice IFR approaches as my primary interest. I will want to add some instruments such as an Aspen PFD 1000. Maybe 2 or 3 monitors. I want to spend about 1400-2000 tops for a solid performer, but it doesn't have to be a screamer. . I've looked at Dell, Ibuypower, cyberpowerpc, SYG, but now understand I don't know what I'm doing. I'm not going to build this myself, except possibly on a website. Please help with your detailed suggestions for video cards (single or crossfire ---ATI vs Nvidia) CPU, ram, HDD or SDD, and other items which you would suggest. I'm new here, but excited to get going on this. If you want to send me specs from one of the online sites --- I'll probably go and build and buy it!! Just trying to not make any dumb mistakes or buy junk. Many thanks!! John
