CAG I can help you but I need to get the latest test sheet from TechCorp Monday on low-budget parts tested...if you don't mind waiting a bit. I have built several low-budget boxes that ran FSX at medium settings very well and one that ran FSX at med-high settings with Orbx beautifully but some newer parts are on the market to replace those I used while some of those parts are no longer being produced and hard to find.

How do i aquire the tech sheet and/or should i wait for a newer rig(s) idea from you?
 
Sorry CAG that list is top secret as TechCorp only reports to mfgs as to their testing results but at least it will give me an idea of which parts with make the best system for the least money. I will get with you sometime late this morning and give you my findings. Today is Cyber Monday and there may be some great online sales to be had. Another good time to buy parts is Dec 7 thru the 22nd because of overseas inventory shifts.

Cag, while I am not an AMD fan per se I have found the Zambezi chips run FSX just fine on high med settings with a slight overclock and the 560Ti here is excellent. You will also be able to upgrade to Bulldozer without too much expense later.
