Over Clocking my PC for simulators

I am looking to speed up my PC for Simulations such as Flight Sim X and X-plane.

I fly in the real world so I want the best performance I can get to keep in- check.

You should maybe look into upgrading to a quad core processor. Afaik those flight sims are pretty cpu intensive.

If you got something like this second hand and overclocked it then it should improve performance a fair bit.

You could probably get about €30 for yours so it would be a cheap upgrade.

You could see how that goes. That graphics card ain't the may west though. You may need a graphics card update as well.

You'd need to give us the model of the motherboard and see if can be overclocked?
