I have been using a laptop for my flight simming,
3.06 Ghz 512 RAM 64MB Raden 9200

As I can not upgrade this lap top Im thinking about buying a Desktop PC for Gaming and photo/video editing

My budget is

If on a budjet I would suggest building AMD. I'm not sure where yall buy from, sO I can't really provdie links. I suggest the MSI K8N Neo 4 (good board and a value), AMD 64 3200, 1gb Geil Value ram, Nvidia 6600 256mb PCIE, 200gb WD, LiteOn DVD-RW. This should be cheap but alot stable and run reasonably well for what you want to do

Lol. You will waste a heck of alot of cash doing that. Basically start out with the dream machine (or atleast a budget of $1000) and go from there. Its easier to buy whats current now and then upgrade one major part every year. Thats what I have been doing and its been working fine.
