I am on a budget and it is going to be used mostly for gaming. The price is 849, and going C2D would cause me to sacrifice in the RAM and GPU category which is what is most important in a gaming rig. i would upgrade to dual AMD when the price goes sub 100. now I have two questions:

can it run FSX on medium 1024x768(or at least 800x600)?

and if i order all these parts, i can put it together and it will work, I dont need anything more?(have monitor, speakers, etc. just tower)

(first build, and I know a good amount but checking is always needed)

Not bad, I think that with the money youre going to spend on that video card, you might be able to upgrade to an even better part...Search around a little more.

Just to let you know, that card is one of the best values out there :).

@joeswm8: I've never played FSX, but either one would be able to play it, it's just that the X2 would be a bit more future-proof (if there ever is such a thing :) )
