Replacing ASRock Q1900M motherboard with a faster one to work with Xplane 11 simulator

[andrew2206]

Hello,

I would like to upgrade my PC so it runs well Xplane-11 flight-simulator.
I have seen a previous posting advising that is not worth upgrading this motherboard for gaming.
I have a Gaming PC but with a slow motherboard (Q1900M) and I was wondering if I could replace the motherboard with a faster one, where I can have a good base to add more RAM and a decent graphics card.

Any recommendations which motherboard to choose so keeping the PC upgrade as simple as possible with wiring, etc. in mind will be used exclusively with Xplane-11?

Many thanks

A Q1900M motherboard isn't really a "gaming" system. It is intended as a low power "always on" type application. It has a slot that could hold a graphics card, but it doesn't have the interface to support one really.

Here is the recommended hardware -- https://www.x-plane.com/kb/x-plane-11-system-requirements/ That would probably mean a $1000 system. Is that the kind of money you are thinking of spending?
