  1. Option number 2 doesn't have an ssd, just a 2TB 5400rpm mechanical hard drive. The diffirence between the two is £50 :-) And yes it's between 2 pre built pc's. Custom builds are out of my budget :-)
  2. I am buying a PC with a GTX 745 (4GB) graphics card and have the option for an i7 or an i5. Computer 1.) The core i5-7400 runs at 3GHz Computer 2.) The core i7-6700 runs at 3.4GHz with up to 4GHz with turbo-boost The computer with an i5 is obviously a lot cheaper and also has the option of a 128gb ssd to load the OS onto. The i7 is alot more expensive and is on the boundary of my budget for a new PC Which computer config would yield better FPS on FSX/P3D and X-plane? I do intend to use all three simulators with some addons such as aerosoft airbus aircraft REX, heathrow scenery e.t.c (FSX will be run at 1280x720 resolution FYI)
  3. Bear in mind I can upgrade the graphics card whenever I want, once I can afford to buy a good one!
  4. Haha no it's not a typo. The overclocking range of Intel processors that I've found are out of my price range. If you can find one for less then £700 then I'll appreciate it!
  5. So do you think I should buy the i5 one and use the money saved for a good GPU? Or just use all the money for an i7 but use its integrated graphics. I only have a 720p monitor so I thought integrated graphics could cope with that, but I guess not! Haha 😂
  6. Hello guys, I am looking at the HP pavillion desktop PC's as they are in my price range. One of the PC's come with intel core i7-6700 Processor and the other comes with an i5-6400. The i5 processor is obviously cheaper!. Apart from that, they are almost identical and both have intel HD integrated 530 graphics. The 530 is a mid range iGPU and should be okay since fsx is heavily coded for CPU usage. My question is: is the £130 extra spend worth it for better fsx frame rates and performance. I will probably use aerosoft airbus and PMDG as well as UK2000 scenery. I want at least 20-25FPS. Is the i7 with higher clock speed and hyperthreading better than the cheaper i5 with no hyperthreading?
