Thanks for all your help!

Ah right, nice. I'm moving up from a worn out system with a Core 2 Duo 2.1ghz and ATI Radeon 4300 so I think that will do me just fine.

Have/do you run any addons such as Aerosoft or REX? If so, does the 660 run them well? Possibly getting a few Aerosoft airports as well as REX. I plan to play a few other performance-heavy games such as BF4, so that's good to know. Thanks for your help.

After reading countless forum posts where people are saying Nvidia is the way to go for FSX, I decided to increase my budget a bit. I am probably going to go for the 2GB GTX 660 (non TI version). It's a good card for FSX then? What sort of fps do you think I would get alongside the i5-4670? Thanks.

I am currently in the process of deciding on a graphics card for a budget gaming PC which I will be playing a lot of FSX on. At the moment I have my eyes set on the AMD Radeon R7 260X, which looks like good bang for the buck. Would this, alongside an i5-4670 (3.4ghz), be ok for running FSX well? Anyone here currently using this card for FSX or other gaming? Please let me know what you think, and possibly suggest a better alternative for a similar price. Thanks.
