Default New Computer?

Hey guys I'm sure you have hashed this one to death but since I get a headache when ever I think or read about computers I was hoping you could give me some advice on this one.
Will this computer run AFP well?
AMD Athlon64 3400+
1GB Mem. PC3200
HD 120GB SATA
Video Asus V9250-XTD128 or Geforce FX5200

Thanks in advance.

Good setup, if you can afford it put a little more moniey into the video card though. Asus M/B as well?

Hi David, yes the M/B is an Asus K8V-SE-DX. What would you suggest for a video card that is not to over priced?

I'd reccomend something in the Radeon 9800 or GeForce 5700 range. These cards are priced in the $250.00 CDN range and will provide lots of power for flight sims. If you need to, reducing your RAM to 512MB will save you some money and won't affect performance at all.
