"ultimate graphics," huh?

LOL

... No.

nothing out right now can give you "ultimate graphics" in FSX. that won't be possible until possibly the end of 2010.

the best thing right now to run FSX is a system with an i7 processor clocked to over 3.6-4.0ghz with at least 6gb of the right memory and a GTX285 video card. don't forget your two velociraptor drives in RAID0 with a good RAID controller card ($200+)

that'll give you the best results any hardware can achieve right now..

=$2,500+

Should run good, not ultimate or anything though.

However, change the card to a 512mb 9800GT though, and try and get a quad core (Q9550 or above), as well as DDR2-1066.... then overclock the hell out of everything.

For best you want an i7 and GTX 280 (or 260), though, OC'd.
