nice only thing i would change is the HDD split it in to 2 HDD or even 3.

Spec looks good

I wouldn't bother buying multiple smaller HDD's to achieve the same space when you can partition it myself.

Though I would invest in a SSD for your OS and Sim - that will make it significantly faster.

Most likely get good performance out of it yes.

Is this a package or are you buying the parts yourself? How much does it cost & what's your budget?

Eh, i dont really have a budget. i am looking for a computer that runs fsx smooth. And i would like to have it basic and maybe expand it a little later. With SD HDD and some extra memory.

I can get this system complete for 700 euro.

do you have an alternative? or just interest? :-)
