I am not sure this is where to post this. I have been using a Dell XPS 400. I am thinking of getting a Cyberpower Gamer Xtreme GXi22890M to use. I don't know what size monitor would be best. Anyone use a Cyberpower?

First, you should post this in the PC support section. Second, you want a widescreen monitor of reasonable size (maybe 10-15 inches high).

I've been loving my 24" Dell (Disclaimer I'm employed by Dell but purchased and enjoyed long before my days with Dell) for many years and still getting mileage out of it. Following is a Newegg link for the 23-27" range sorted by Best Rating from customers

If I recall correctly monitor size really doesn't matter vis-à-vis a video card. What matters to your vid card is resolution.

I am running dual 32" monitors on a NVidia 660 card & while my frames aren't great (mostly owing to it being an older system) it does function well.

I keep hearing about this monitor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA4JK1EC4012 that you can`t go wrong.

I think it depends on your budget. A 24" monitor should suffice for FSX and are reasonably priced.
