For my setup, I have an Intel SSD for OS and another SSD for FSX.

 

My perferred brands are Intel and Kingston.

 

FSX do access C:\ drive when running, so having an SSD would also help in loading during game play as well.

 

Thanks

Looking at your hardware specs, your GPU might be a bottleneck especially at 4.7 Ghz. I would consider upgrading to at least a 660TI and 8gb of fast RAM with tight timings.Keep in mind that you'll probably have to adjust your overclock settings after installing the RAM. As for the SSD. I highly recommend the Samsung 840. An SSD will not improve your FPS though. I have 2 256 gb 840 pro SSD's installed with the OS on 1 and FSX on the other. Moving FSX to its own dedicated SSD in its own folder, not the default X86/program/files one has resulted in the most stable, trouble-free platform I've ever experienced. PC boots up to windows in less than 20 seconds. FSX and any 3rd party payware loads up much faster than before. I employed Word Not Allowed's tweaks and now suffer no more CTD's and freezes. There are a myriad of config file tweaks and other patches that will aid in FSX performance that don't cost anything. Regards
