Hello all,
My first post.
Please help me build a reliable and FAST computer for FSX. It requires a lot of power, mainly in processor speed. It's rather old tech and cannot use HT or Cores.
I would like the OS and FSX to be on a SSD, probably 240GB or so and maybe a 1GB regular drive to backup too.
I want to use three monitors for viewing forward, left front, right front views.
Need wifi.
Modest speakers and would like 24" monitors, good keyboard and mouse.

Can go up $2,000 or more if I have too.

I'm in the US so please no links to UK stores.

Thank you for your help!
 
for the wifi I would just get a usb adapter, they work just as good, and would save you $90
I have one of these Edimax EW-7811Un If you do go with something like this, just skip the fancy program it wants to install and find the driver on the disk with device manager...

I also have a ralink one, it works good, but it had bad reviews, and the first one I got didn't work... The edimax I linked is realtek
 
FSX can use multiple cores and HT so you want to get a 4 core 8 thread CPU at the very least - so not the 4670K. Also agree with the Evo 840 suggestion, much better, plus you don't need anything close to a 750W PSU.
