You can always just copy the PCPP link over in the box pointed with orange arrow, or the BBCode over the button marked with red arrow.

 

Anyway, at 600 AUD its definitely a super hard stretch and imo spending the extra 100$ will give you a more upgradable PC.

Don't go with single channel RAM. You will cripple performance that way, especially with integrated graphics. If you can only afford 8GB of memory, then get a kit with a pair of 4GB modules.

So you have old PC to boot? Then tell us, many part of old PCs can always be reused.

Microsoft flight sim is most likely no go for setup like this. Unless you are with single digits FPS.

Yep, if its still on a semi decent platform like lga 1156 or 1155 then with abit of upgrading it could be better than buying an entirely new pc, esp when the budget is low

 

If its lga 775 then best thing you can do is swap the mobo for a better one and stick a quad core xeon in it
