I thought you would need something reasobaly powerful. I guess a GTX 670 would work but those are still quite expensive. Would a gtx 660 ti work maybe?

Looking to build a new system to run flight simulator X in a 2D surround setup, 3x1080p displays. My question is what is the cheapest graphics card/CPU combo i would need to run this setup? I have a budget of around $1600USD to build the whole setup. Won't need keyboard/mouse/speakers. Also...
