New PC help/suggestions.

[BenG]

This is a bity of an Off-Topic question although it's also on topic, as it's related to FS2004 (and FSX).

I'm looking to buy a new PC, It's a while since I last bought a PC and I've lost touch with what's what (i.e. what's good and what's bad). I
basically use my PC for playing games (here's where FSX/FS9 comes in). I'm looking to buy a fairly top range model. What I'd like is
advice on:
- What sort of spec should I be aiming for (RAM (Type & amount), Processer, Hard Disk etc...)
- Make of components (e.g. GeForce, ATI etc...)
- E.g. Try buying a full system from X they're really good (UK/EU only).
- General advice - e.g. If you want to use it for FS9/X get lots of RAM .

Regards,
