Can I ask for some advice please? My current MCE PC is on its way out; it's given me good service but it's 5 years old and the SATA ports are failing.
I've been reading around but you can't beat experience, so should I go for the i3-3225 or an A10-5800? Both cost about £100.
I will be mainly watching video - the only graphics-intensive gaming I'll be doing is Flight Sim X or X-Plane so I am hoping to do away with a dedicated graphics card.
My main concern is low-wattage components.
(My current system is an Athlon 64 x2 4800+ with a Radeon HD4600 - I'm guessing either of the new options are significantly faster?)
Cheers
