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! <_<

Anyway here we are:

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

What do ya thinky?? :)

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?

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.
