Best hardware to run FSX

[flacs]

Hi: Im going to USA in 2 months and was thinking on buying the main hardware to make a new PC. Would you be so kind to tell me what specs should I have to take into account when buying (processor; Ram; video card, drive, etc.) I want FSX to run in a full mode and smooth.
Thanks and regards,
Flacs.

This thread has a list of components for maximizing FSX performance on todays available hardware.

Note - Even with such a system you will have to make graphical setting compromises once you add typical FSX add-ons (detailed aircraft/scenery/utilities). The system that can run FSX flat out with ALL settings maxed isn't available yet.

OK Paxx: Thanks for your response. I understand what you say about "compromises". But...what should I buy???.

If your budget is around $1500 USD, I would buy everything on the list.
