Hello, I'm soon going to be upgrading my pc's CPU from a A6-6400k to a Athlon X4 860K. I'm on a budget and I have seen around youtube etc that it's a good amd cpu for budget builds. My question to you will it run x-plane decently without stuttering or a bad quality image? Will it provide me with good frames ?. I've also got the MSI gaming GTX750Ti which some people use with this CPU, but will it bottleneck the card as this is what is causing me to upgrade now. Now I would upgrade to the intel pentium but according to benchmarks it's practically the same, and moving to intel will mean more money as I have a OEM licence for windows and I would need a new mother board.

Helpful advisors of X-Pilot.Com - I am potentially in the market to do some system updating in light of my current systems bottlenecks and hangups with XP10. As it stands today, I am pleased with how my system runs MS Flight Simulator X and various other games and entertainment titles, but XP10 is bogging down and I have it on decent authority and research that it is probably my GPU causing the bulk of the issue. I'm running an i7 860 (2.8ghz Lynnfield generation) with 8GB RAM and an nVidia GTX 260, Windows 7 x64 Pro. My two choices: Update the current system to a GTX 670 for lots of money... Update the current system with a new i7 3820 & motherboard AND the GTX 670 for even more money. Obviously the best bet for pure performance is the whole shebang, but it's just about twice the price. I love me some new computer hardware, but I need to be budget minded for the first time in my life. I can swing the full update, but I guess I'd rather not if I can avoid it right now. With XP10 being more GPU-centric than CPU-centric, will a video card update in this case improve my XP10 performance, or will I be attaching a fire hose to a household spigot - not being able to take advantage of what the GTX 670 can do because of a weaker CPU? Thoughts, gurus? -Greg
