I am planning on buying a really good CPU for FSX, approx. between $1,000 - $1,500 and I see this site looks pretty good, but I would like to know has anybody else purchased from there? or does anyone know of a better site? thanks

I have never bought pre-built computers.... but seeing the prices in that page... I think building your own is a MUCH better deal.

www.newegg.com  ;)

With $1500 you can buy a beast there... 8-)

If i were you i would take the money and build myself one.I know if you dont know how, it will be hard but MORE MONEY ON POCKET.
But its your choice.

Yeah, I really wouldnt consider myself a good builder.. I've never done it before  

I guess its time for you to learn.The max it can happen is "pc not working"
But if i can do it.You also can do it.And if i menage to keep some $ in pocket its worth it to learn.
With $1500 of budget, you can build a wonderful machine and keep some money.
Tell us what is your decision and help will came along.

I really dont trust myself at all building an actual hard drive considering I know nothing about doing it or have nobody around me that knows.. It sounds like a good idea but I'm afraid that I will definitely screw it up and thats why Im really turned down to that idea... I dont want all my money to go down the drain b/c I screwed something up, atleast if I bought a CPU from another company already built and for what ever reason it won't work, I know atleast I'll get a refund or some sort of professionial support so I know that I won't be on my own when it comes to dealing with hardware like that.. I'm more into fixing car's and motors than computers  :o

I understand, its your $ after all.Good Luck.

I didn't know how to build computers when I bought the parts for my first build...LOL... still did it and it came out fine. Keep your old one and use that for the internet and ask us for help while you build the other one. You'll have

I never built a computer before too but when I started to do research on the web and listened to all the advice I got from SimV I built a great gaming computer. Specs are in my sig.

You learn a whole lot more by building it on your own than buying one. You can also tweek anything you want to your specs.

Here is a $900 Intel i720 cpu system that will wipe that $1,500 Xjett 750 off the map:

Well let me put it this way.
1 you rather fix cars than pc? Well think like this the tools you need are cheaper, to build and repair pc's.
2 People are giving you help. In my time and most of this guys time there were no forums to help, all was FPS experience.
3 YOU HAVE THE MONEY?? USE IT.
4 "Sorry my pc crash, how can i do to repair it??" BUY ANOTHER ONE!!!
Good luck.

The rev. on that pc are very good!!

Pros: Very fast machine. A lot of room for upgrades. Very fast shipping. Very good Cyberpower customer service(Try to call early in the morning, hold time can be long)

Cons: I am an nvidia guy. This is my first ATI. I tried to update the drivers and got an error with the ccc. WARNING: uninstall your older drivers before installing the new ones, or you will have the 2 day headache that i went through. I called cyberpower, the guy tried to help me but in vain. So i decided to google the mom.implementation error, and got it fixed at last.
Again, this is not newegg, or cyberpowers fault. thats why they get 5 eggs. As for ATI, I dont know if i was doing something wrong, but i am going back to nvidia(they can find the drivers for me and update them with the click of a button)
Other Thoughts: Very good system for the price. Just spend around 150 bux and get you an nvidia gtx 260 and you will be good to go for a long long time.
About the Mom.implementation...just google that and add ati next to it, you will see how many people had this problem.

Buy it, then dont forget to buy a new video card!!!! The forums will be here!!!

For the $700 difference you could buy both a nice monitor and a great 285GTX video card .

Thank you everybody for all your input, it has all been helpful, right now I think im going to put off that jetlinesystems website because I want to look in to building a system more, but thanks everyone, you saved me from probably making a huge mistake and throwing money down the drain
