Hi all! Haven't posted in a while so here it goes -
I am currently running a PC that would've been good in like 2007 - I have been on this PC for about 3 years now and I am honestly just getting really sick of how slow it is.
I am not a hardcore gamer - The game I play daily is actually FSX and I have many demanding addons that run OK - but the sim is tweaked so much to the point it looks like FS2002 haha.
I have an Xbox One S and a PS4 which I NEVER use and will be selling to gain some money to put towards this:
I want a PC that is a good starting point - Like if possible - an i5 processor, 8gb RAM, and a GTX 1050 or something. Come christmas, I will sell my graphics card I have in the <new> PC and get money to put towards a better one - like a 1060 and also 16GB of RAM. Mayeb a better processor down the line, but an i5 is great for me.
All I would be doing on this PC is 80% FSX (Or XP11/P3D performance depending) and 20% GTA V, PUBG, Call Of Duty etc. and daily activities like browsing Chrome etc.
I know £500-600 is an absolute push and maybe impossible but the maximum I would go to is £700 for an initial price (Which I would not like it to come to that much)
And as I said earlier - I would be upgrading the GPU and RAM in December anyway - so even if the initial PC can't run the mentioned games - that is absolutely fine.
Anything is better than my current machine (Q9550, HD7770, 8GB DDR2 RAM ffs)
Thanks guys I hope you can find me something!
P.S - I would like to have an Intel/nvidia machine as AMD isn't so good with flight sims I've heard. Also I don't need windows or any OS.
EDIT 1: I've just actually found a PartPicker list and edited it a bit - Is this: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/3yzw4C not quite good? I think its great for me but would like an opinion
