best computer for fsx with a good price

How much do you want to spend and do you want a monitor with that.

around 1500$ with monitor

Check out www.dell.com and www.gateway.com .

For that price you could build your own nice machine.

WOW!!!!!!

Wow is right, my brother computer runs FSX just fine with everything on ultra high, and his specs are a little less than yours (Minus the gfx card)

His specs are:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ 2.6GHz Dual Core CPU
2GB DDR2 533 Ram
320GB SATA3 Hard Drive

But his video card is better than yours, his is a nVidia 8800GTS 320MB Card.

And he got about 20-30 FPS in the air, except at LAX, he only got about 8-10 FPS on the ground there, not sure what he got in the air.

Sooo, if im not mistaking, you may just need to format your hard drive, and install a fresh copy of windows on it, and get a new video card (something like the one i mentioned above should do fine, but if you can afford it, get the best card you can afford.

Your brother's specs sound real close to mine except i have a smaller hard drive and the a gfx card (next step down i believe 87something). I regularly get 30 fps, except in thunderstorms... i like my clouds at 100%

Okay, yeah, i think im going to wait for the new 8800GT video card to come out, and ill be getting that, its suppose to be released on 29th of october, so another 9 more days 🙂
