I have been putting off purchasing a more dedicated gaming desktop since 2006 when FSX first came out. Back then computers weren't up to scratch to run fsx on full along with add ons etc.

So the question is, are they now ?

I am guessing an overclocked quad is going to be important?

What specs should I be looking at? Ignoring budget altogether..

Thanks

Well I currently use a 32 lcd which is at 13xx x 720 I think. Something like that.
