yup, <br><br>if you want to use Nvidia cards, you need to use a board with an Nvidia chipset, <br>and if you want to use ATI cards you need an Intel chipset<br><br>for Nvidia you should get the 790i chipset and for intel the X58<br>
<br>BUT - it depends on how urgent the computer buy is ?<br>if you can wait till October/November - Intel are going to have a new architecture for the CPU with completely new boards and CPUs so if you can wait - do.<br><br>

<p style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">a single quad core should
be enough, <br>
and probably 4GB of RAM<br>
the problem with graphics is the display card/s you would probably need at
least 2 high end card in SLI/Crossfire<br>
you'll have to get either 2 Nvidia 9800 or even better 2 Nvidia 280, or if you
really swim in money - 3 of them<br>
or if you prefer the alternative - get the new ATI/AMD 4870 and if which cost
about half or even less but loose only a bit in speed, <br>
these also come in 2 or 3 card configuration.<br>
or you can wait for the 4870X2 with 2 GPU's on each card - that should be out
by august, and still cost a lot less them the NV280 but run faster.<br>
you can read about it here :<br>

<br>
the only problem is that for both new card - the 4870 and 260/280 the drivers
for FSX are not mature yet<br>
