A good computer to run the simulators?
Don't be in a hurry. I got a lot more system that that a year ago with the G force card with all the ram I could get in the system for $600 U.S. and you should be able to do better than that now. I didn't have to get a screen, but those are pretty cheap. You can get a 17 inch flat screen now pretty cheap. If you want LCD they are a bit more, but under $500 each. That system will run G-2 fine though. The more ram, the better. Seems to do well with more. Enjoy. By the way, hows the RC plane flying?
