Just got word that the person I am building this for will also be doing a flight simulator. So do I need a better GPU?


depends, if it's a program/software , just check the requirements...

To successfully use Phoenix, you will need the following:

• IBM-compatible PC computer with 1.0 GHz Pentium 3/4 or AMD Athlon/64 compatible processor or better

• Microsoft Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 operating system
• 256MB system memory (RAM)
• 1.5 GB free, uncompressed hard-disk space
• ATI Radeon 9800/NVidia Geforce Ti4200 with at least 128MB memory or better
• Microsoft DirectX 9.0c or higher
• DVD-ROM Drive for installation
• 1 free USB 1.1/2.0 port
• 100% DirectX 9 compatible sound card (optional)

He's trying to max out the graphics for his simulator, and we can cut the cost of ram, I have some extra laying around.
