msFlights.net Store reccomended computer builds!

[Kalo]

hey guys, I was working on creating some recommended computer builds for anyone looking to put together a new computer. The good thing about putting together your own computer is because retail computers use lower quality parts/brands for the motherboard/memory/hard-drive/videocard etc. Check out the "value" build I was working on where each component it top notch quality: http://astore.amazon.com/msflights-2...=UTF8&node=507 I want to eventually add a high end and budget build. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

Does this build satisfy general basic requirements to fly happy ?
that is, will it get me going with a smile?

[Kalo]

yes KLM it would run FSX very nicely. For the next step up build I would add a "solid state" hard drive that would just load everything quicker, a better motherboard and video card, but other then that it would still run FSX very nicely.
