If you've got that sort of money to spend, you've got to be looking at triple-headed screens driven by a pair of graphics cards.
Other things to consider:
Logitech G25 wheel
TrackIR 4 head tracking (great with rFactor; fantastic with flight sims)
Not sure what to recommend for flight sim controller. It depends on the type of game you play - are you ferrying passengers or shooting bad guys? I've got a Hotas Cougar stick/throttle and it's very good but not really suitable for piloting Cesnas or 747s!

3K for a machine, I'd find a geek and get it custom built rather than go off-the-peg for that sort of cash. Look for "Core 2 Duo" and speeds of "2GHz" or higher, lots of RAM (2Gb+) and as you like flight sims and I'll assume Microsoft Flight Simulator, get Vista. MFS is pretty much the only DX10 game going and it really shines apparently.
Avoid Alienware. They were the dogs bollox but these days are run by Dell. Their £3k systems have been reviewed by places like Hexus and found full of basic off-the-shelf components.... Dell's XPS systems are better value for money in that respect.
