My my, we are getting fancy now arent we? Thats a decent amount of RAM, and certainly a nice CPU, which should be sweet for running FSX. However, that graphics card will limit your speed. Dont get me wrong though, thats definately a nice system, but I think youll be looking at high mid-max settings

It's just that I've seen screenies elsewhere with the same kind of card memory producing amazing shots - will my screenshots look great like theirs? Cheers |

The 8800 series card's aren't the best, DX10 isn't out yet either, you'd be better to go for a 7950GT 512mb you'll get a faster core clock speed.
