That sounds realistic to me. Currently, 1000 Euros are 1350 Dollar. You probably can safely aim for the lower mark in your price span.

Also note that gfx cards tend to have a limited lifespan, no device in my PCs have technically failed me more often, and broke down after 2-3 years. Another argument why one must not want too too high with the price mark there. They simply wore out.

If its in the budget, consider a second drive: a SSD either for Windows and system alone, or FSX alone. 64 GB for FSX, 128 for Windows would be sufficient.
