Is that US $ or something else? Countries can affect what you can get in price ranges.

Ive heard that some games wont even boot on a 2 core and im just worried because i feel like a flight simulator is a heavy load on a cpu

I see. Yeah, but I think that the new intel processors (kaby lake/7000 numbers) all have hyperthreading so a 2 core may be able to run quadcore games. Someone will have to confirm that since idk.

 

Otherwise you'd be looking into something like an FX 6300 or Athlon x4 if you weren't waiting on AMD's new lineup.

If you´re really on budget  , maybe go a few generations back , 4rth gen core i5s range from $100-$150 USD , you could also get on craigslist and wish for the best. Also with Zen right about the corner , it wouldn't be a bad decision to wait a few weeks and see what the red team has to offer for the same price , and maybe you can get a 2 core , hyperthread-ed  CPU , or a non hyperthread-ed 4 core. The rumors for the 6 core , 12 threaded beast were around $300 , not the best for budget , but you could downscale to a 4 core - 8 thread processor.

 

Super budget: Step back a gen or two , or get a 2 core 4 thread

Kinda budget: AMD Zen
