Happy New Year everyone!

I am ready to move up to FSX (Microsoft flight simulator 10). My 7 yr old computer could run it with upgrades so I came to this site looking for help.

After spending several days on the site it's now obvious I need to start from scratch. I never would have considered building a computer but I think I can do it with Rob's instructions and the support of the senior members and this forum.

I'm looking for a package that hits the cost/performance sweet spot and will go together without to much trouble. (very limited experience)

The computer would be used for video editing and high end flight simming
Budget $1,000 - $1,500
Have all the peripherals including 80GB external HD
Thinking Raid 0 or raid 0+1
Vista Home Premium
Upward compatable

Thanks for your help
