http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131795 I was looking at this board and has anyone heard about the proformance of the AMD FX-4130 ? I'm really interested in that but not sure if it will work smoothly with fsx

I really new to computer building, and I want to make a 2009 compaq desktop into a gaming device for Under 200 dollars. I wanted at first to upgrade just the CPU, but I soon found out in order to put in a AMD phenom 2 x4 965 black edition it needs a 125 watt socket and my current one has a 95 watt socket. I found the CPU for 85$ but I need a motherboard, and eventually I'll get a video card. But since I have to buy a new mobo, I'm really torn between buying a new mobo for a AMD or intel CPU. Should I get a the AMD mentioned above or just go with a i7 , and if so , what kind? I'm ally new as I said and I have a very vague idea on how to go about this project. Btw I want it to be so I can run fsx smoothly with lots of traffic, say 70 percent? It has to be a a mini atx board and I have 4 gb of ddr3 ram.
