There is my video.  I did mention FS Dream Team!  I need you flight simmers to help me out here so i can get something that is worth the money.

Bruce Hamilton:
I would add a couple gigs of RAM and ditch Vista for Windows 7, also making sure that FSX is running at the highest resolution your graphics card is capable of will help.  You'll never get 50+ frames consistantly, don't even try.

nickac1092:
No.  Im not spending any more money on the computer in my signiture.  Im getting a brand new computer...  And i will try for 50+ FPS.

Hello unfortunately you won't get 50fps in heavy airports in the air and in other places yes you can get 50fps, I did this config really fast http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/saved/1DUTTU this is sort of what I would get if I was buying from cyberpower of course if you build yourself it would be cheaper depending on the parts. to me anything above a Intel I5 2500k will be good for fsx/fs9 overclocked if you don't overclock you will not see a high improvement so it has to be at least at 4.0 the overclock on the p.c to really see a difference in big detailed airports. you would be ok with the regular default clock speed of the chip but like I said you will see more higher fps if the cpu is overlocked to around 4.0 and above.

We just so you know, Im going with an Intel I7 3.4GHz or more...  Im going to get 16GB ram, 2x ATI 6950 2GB onboard ram, 1000 watt power, liquid cooling, and the Cooler Master HAF-X tower case.  Im going to have all the fans including a HDD cooling fan.  For the boot drive, im going with a 32GB kingstone SSD.  The data HDD that will have FSX and FS9 on it will be a SATA 2TB 3.5" 7,200RPM HDD.  Along with the amount of Power i need im getting a 1200 watt UPC (uniteruptible power suppy).  Again i have a budget of $3 grand and no more.  I saw that i might not get 50+ frames at places with alot of traffic and airports like New York City JFK and LGA...  I now want to know if i can keep it above 28-30FPS...
Final configeeration i build yesterday, was $2345.00
