I'm finally looking to upgrade my rig after having (just recently) become hooked on FSX. After flirting with P3D (meh) for about a month, I took the opportunity of having a clean install of FSXSE to run FSXMark11. My average of 16fps was the final straw, I'm going to intel. Right now I'm running an A6 6400K at 4.5ghz. For reference, here are most of the addons I use, Quality Wings 757 Active Sky Next Megascenery earth (a few regions I frequent, not sure if I'm going to keep using it) Traffic 360 I will definitely be adding on payware airports to my collection, once I have some other things added to my library. Also, I will most likely be picking up the PMDG 737 eventually. My graphics card is an R7-260X, nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. Upon looking at deals I can get near me, I've narrowed down my choices to three choices. Pentium G3258 - This is obviously the budget option, but is suppose to be a great overclocker. Although I'm a bit hesitant to be purchasing another dual core (without hyperthreading). But, I'm not sure if it would out preform an i3 if it was overclocked. i3-6100 - I was favoring this for quite a few days. New architecture, and in some of the benchmarks I've seen it can be the i5s and i7s a run for their money in single threaded applications. How much of a performance hit would I be taking from going with this versus a real quad core? i5-4590 - it's obviously clocked quite a bit slower than the i3, but from the benchmarks I've seen it's single threaded performance is within 5% of the i3, while in multi-threaded tests it outperforms by upwards of 35%. Before I get people advising me to go with the newer generation of i5, a local chain known for their great deals has this for about 160$. It's still a good 50$ more than the i3 6100. My concern is investing into the LGA 1150 socket. The room for upgrade down the road would be limited. I appreciate the help.
