What Gaming machine

[MattDLEA]

Im looking for some advice,I'm not a big gamer and find a lot of games hard, saying that I have not played much of anything in the past few years. Other then Football Manager and Flightsim X

I did like X2 on the PC.

So the PC I had Flightsim on has died. I have a mac and a

Intel® Core™ i5-4570 quad core 3.2 GHz (3.6GHz Turbo) with Intel® HD Graphics 4600

8GB RAM

240GB SSD

Windows 8.1

 

Is the above any good for games ( flightsim - elete etc?)

 

Or would I be better off getting a playstation or Xbox if so which one?

Just think I may have a hour here and there to play now .

I think you'd be good to go with just a new graphics card!

Yup, Pop a GTX1060 in that PC and you'll be well set

[MattDLEA]

Which one?

[ICTDirect_Dave]

Take your pick. I like MSI usually

 

OCUK are pretty steep on GFX cards though, try ebuyer/scan/amazon.

If you're feeling tight and don't mind sticking to older/less demanding games then you may find that you can get away with what you've got.

 

Try Can You RUN It | Can I run that game | Game system requirements and if your specs aren't up to the games your interested in, then look at a new GFX card.

I bought this one a few days ago from OC and its awesome!

3GB model though, i'd spend a little more and get the 6gb. It'll be worth it in the long run

Or an AMD RX 480 if that suits your budget and game choices.
