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.... even though the 9800XT is one fine card, the 6800 will outshine it by a margin.

Mainboard: Asus P5K-Premium, CPU=Intel E6850 @ x8x450fsb 3.6ghz, RAM: 4gb PC8500 Team Dark, Video: NV8800GT, HDD: 2x1Tb Samsung F3 RAID-0 + 1Tb F3, PSU: Antec 550 Basiq, OS: Win7x64, Display: 24" WS LCD

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 Wink

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.

AMD64 3500+ @ 2200MHz 400FSB&&MSI K8N Neo 2 mobo nForce3 chipset&&1gig Corsair XMS PC3200 timings @ 10.2.2.2 &&XFX 6800 Ultra @ 450/1200&&80gig HDD&&Loadsa fans!!!
