Which PC to choice

[bmxer193]

Hi everyone, I am going to buy a refurbished PC to run Microsoft Flight Simulator X and X plane 10 on because my laptop finally died and I do not have to money to purchase another laptop with the same or better specs. Im looking for something in the low $200 range then I will purchase the most powerful graphics card I can for a reasonable price and one that will not require me swapping out the power supply. Of the following PCs which do you guys think would best suite me and which, if any, would be the most upgradable for the future. Thanks!

None of these are going to have the upgrade abilities that you'll want just because manufacturers squeeze all the parts into a tiny case. It's best to save up and purchase a custom PC, but the 5th link, will probably do you the best as it's got space for a small PCI-E card. You won't be able to play any modern games though.

Would encourage a custom also.

Probably, better parts availability, and easier to change out yourself.

Too, if you make images/clone drives, you might want to be sure that the processors/motherboards are still now and likely to remain available for if they happen to go out and you need to restore. Otherwise you could end up starting from scratch.

May also want to take a closer look at the DDR2 type. Some are getting very hard to come by
