OK I eventually bought a PC off www.novatech.co.uk. Ordered on the 15th, arrived on the 18th - top class service!

Can't open until Christmas though! dry.gif

Anyway here we are:

Intel Core 2 Duo E6750
4GB RAM
512MB nvidia 8600GT
22" Acer Monitor

What do ya thinky?? smile.gif

I'm hoping to run FSX on max. Think I'll be able to with some tweaks here and there?

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

Hi brownbox,

Thanks for your input - isn't a 512MB card quite good though. 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?

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.
