Mitchell. Check out www.ibuypower.com Only place I will purchase a computer other than building them myself piece by piece from newegg.com Check it out, they always have great deals on computers that will last for years to come. I purchased mine from ibuypower back in 2010. Since then I updated the video card and all I need to keep it going is a mobo, cpu and some ram. No need to spend another $1500 on a new one. They're really great PC's with great customer service.

Mitchell;
What is the price range you are looking for it? I just say that AMD is out of question for FSX. Maybe this is something to look into:
