Is this a good FSX computer spec?

Welcome to our forums. :)

Generally a fantastic spec for Flight Sim + addons. I would however suggest one change:

1. You've selected two hard drives. Consider changing the 640GB to your 2nd drive and a solid state drive (SSD) as your primary drive, because this will allow your OS and programs, such as flight sim, to load/run faster.
