I suppose he wants the best components for his money. So I would imagine a Core 2 Duo would suit his needs.

yea, you're probably right, but i figured i'd ask before i went to all of the trouble of configuring a system. Some people have a preference.

I really dont care on the processor, I just need to run Catia and run flight simulator 2004(I heard FSX runs like crap if you dont have a super computer) and Company of Heroes(I love this game)

Thanks

 

[ducis]

well with the money your willing to spend you'll be able to run FSX no prob

If no one has put together a list of components for you by tomorrow, I'll do it. Probably start off with the Core 2 Duo E6400 Conroe...
