In the market to purchase a new gaming PC (primarily for FSX).  I have zero tech experience so a home build is out of the question.  Are there any recommendations for a reputable website to customize a PC.  I stumbled accross www.digitalstormonline.com and found a nice system for $3K (about what I'm looking to spend) but I am little scared to pull the trigger.

Processor: Intel Core i7 940 2.93GHz (Quad Core)
Motherboard: ASUS Rampage II Extreme (Intel X58 Chipset) (Supports Triple SLI or CrossFire)
System Memory: 6GB DDR3 1600MHz Corsair Dominator DHX (High-Performance)
Power Supply: 750W Corsair TX (Dual SLI Compatible) (Silent Edition)
Hard Drive Set 1: Operating System: 500GB Western Digital (16MB Cache) (7200 RPM) (SATA)
Video Card: 1x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280 1GB (Includes PhysX Technology)
LCD Display: Acer 22 inch (Widescreen) (Black) (High-Performance Gaming Display)
Warranty: 3 Year Platinum Care Extended Parts & Labor Warranty

Any experience/info about this company or other companied would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

that's really overpriced.. but that's what all pre-built computers are like. if you built it yourself, it would cost about $2,200

it's not too hard putting a system together.. all you have to do is make sure you buy the right parts and then put it together which isn't as hard as you think. you can do plenty of research online and get yourself acquainted with it and save yourself almost a $1,000

if you decide to buy that system anyways, it's a great system  ;)

It all looks good except the monitor. Look for a Viewsonic gaming performance monitor or buy one online somewhere. Acer is new to the gaming industry so I would go with something more solid.
