Hi, 

FSX is CPU intensive, so all is good but the GTX 1050 graphic card is weak with 2048MB. Choose a better card (minimum GTX1060) with more video RAM on it.

Also, if you are planning to install FSX on the SSD, choose at least a 500 GB SSD.

seagate make a 1tb hybrid SSD/HD for faster loading and its not expensive. I use one for ORBX and photos cenery

For just FSX I'd say a gtx 1050 will cut it but it's the minimum

Otherwise everything else looks good

Oh - as long as you're running 1080P

if 4K get a better gpu like GTX 1070
