All I can say is I did the same thing at Christmas.  I bought an out-of-the-box ASUS desktop, running Win 8.1   The last thing you want to consider is the operating system --- use whatever will handle lots of memory and is fast.  For example, I got:

ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. M51AC
3.40 gigahertz Intel Core i7-4770
Windows 8.1 (x64) (build 9600)
12 GB of Memory
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 [Display adapter]

Ship simulator and every other simulator works extremely well.  It's a quad-core unit so it has power which is a must.  Will Ship Simulator Extremes run with any less --- I don't know.  I know it didn't work on my old single core with a super video card.

Best of luck.

Thanks for your answer Robert.
 First I must admitt; I'm a total nuuub When speaking of computers. From my point of wiew, in my nuuub-brain, when I compare the data from your PC and the one I've ordered, it looks like:
 - Your processor is stronger (3,4GHz vs 3,1 GHz). - you got more memory (12 GB vs 8GB)- And it's easy for a guy like me to asume I have a slightly better graphic-card (gtx650 vs gtx750).
How far out am I?

I want to buy a asus transformer aio, im not sure if sse works on pc's with touch screen. But it would be cool to use the controls that are on the ship bridges. With keyboard you can only make sharp turns but With touch screen you could make smaller turns. I could just buy the control unit but it dont fit to many of the ships.


So my question is: can Asus AIO transformer run SSE?

Unfortunately not. There's a detailed post about these systems and compact graphics cards I once made here:

All-in-one PC's
It's great to have a compact desktop computer. But compact means small, and small means less room for hardware.
All-in-one PC's are definitely NOT recommended to use as a gaming computer. Most of these PC's also use touch screen, which has never been tested for ShipSim.
There is a reason powerful GPU cards are such huge devices:
