Microsoft Flight Simulator X

Hi all,

I was wondering whether anyone could provide some specific advice as to whether Microsoft Flight Simulator X would run on the following PC, which is a Dell Inspiron 3000, the one for £359:

Not worth it with integrated graphics. FSX is extremely demanding on hardware it would probably run like a slideshow

We use them Dells for employees, they have a PCI-E slot but the PSU's aren't up to much, you'd get away with adding something like a 7850 to it which should be more than enough for FSX.

Ah, that's a shame!

As said above though, if you get a graphics card too it would be ok on lower settings

I am pretty sure it would be okay though, because I installed it on a friend's computer, with low computer quality and it was great! Another thing, I am not looking to install anything else; I will not connect this computer to the internet, or install anything except the FSX.
