Have a look at Evesham's website. They've got some good ones there.... Had you considered building?

I think you'll see a bigger improvement with a NV6800 in your current system, rather than a new rig with the same card you have now....

Well I am carrying out the FS-GS service at the moment and all I will tell you is you could have the best rig ever, but if its setup wrong it still wont run FS2004 well  ;)

You basically want a similar spec to what I have except with a better CPU.  I could not justify the price of the FX53 though (Over double that of my 3500)

What you want sounds good though and lets hope it gets you the FPS you want.

I dont know any off the shelf PC's I am afraid though, I always make em myself.
