    EDIT: Sorry, I Miss-read your post.

    Option Number 2 would be better with the higher clock speed. SSD is also a bonus. Also depends on how much more expensive the 2nd option is, compared to the first. 

    Are you building this yourself? Or is it a selection of two pre-built PC's?

    Cheers.

    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 :-)

    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)

    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?

    Here are the rest of the specs: 

    Operating system: Windows 10 Home 64

    Processor Chipset: Intel H110

    Processor speed: 3.4 GHz

    Processor family: 6th Generation Intel® Core™ i7 processor

    Processor: Intel® Core™ i7-6700 (3.4 GHz, up to 4 GHz, 8 MB cache, 4 cores)

     

    Hard drive: 128 GB SATA SSD

    Hard drive (2nd): 2 TB 5400 rpm SATA

     

    Graphics: Intel® HD Graphics 530

    Graphics: Integrated

     

    Network interface: Integrated 10/100/1000 Gigabit Ethernet LAN

    Wireless: 802.11a/b/g/n/ac (1x1) and Bluetooth® 4.0 combo

    Ports1 USB 2.0
    1 headphone/microphone combo
    2 USB 2.0
    4 USB 3.0
    1 audio in
    1 audio out
    1 microphone in

    Expansion slots:

    1 PCIe x1
    1 PCIe x16
    1 M.2

    Memory: 8 GB DDR3L-1600 SDRAM (2 x 4 GB)

    Memory slots: 2 DIMM

    Memory and storage: 8 GB memory
    2 TB HDD storage
    128 GB SSD storage

    Bear in mind I can upgrade the graphics card whenever I want, once I can afford to buy a good one!

    I do not think that you are going to be happy with this configuration..

    Integrated graphics is not going to do the job if you want to fly with any addons at all..

    i5 is OK, but a dedicated GPU should also be on your shopping list..

    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 😂
