$800 gaming PC for FSX

[Hogdriver]

My 775 e6600 PC is getting slow. I'm wanting to build a cheaper gaming PC used mostly for flight sim X. I'll also be using Vatsim and airhauler in the back ground. Thinking of using AMD. Want to compare between intel and AMD. Would like the ability to upgrade or get 3d vision. Thanks for the help.

Well I'm assuming its a very CPU intensive game, you could try out the 800$ build in my siggy. Course with SB coming back, I think some 2500 action would be good too.

Thanks to both of you for the advice. Do you think I'd be better off waiting for sb?

Personally, yes. But that's just my opinion. You could easily do the 800$ build I have or wait and do the 1K build I have which is a lot better. (I updated it because SB is coming out in about a week or two says intel)

Lowest price point/reuse old h/w no - if u render/encode outside games and if time = $$ then yes
