FSX is a very demanding game/sim and requires a fairly good PC to be enjoyable. You do need to have an internet connection to activate it and to install many payware addons. What other games do you play?

It depends on what sort of onboard video you've got, but it's not likely to be a very satisfying experience. You can activate FSX offline via phone, so that's not a problem, but you won't be able to load real-world weather without an internet connection. If you list your full PC specs, it'll be easier to predict how well FSX will run.

My computer specs are intel pentium E5300 processor 2.60 GH
6 GB ram
1 TB HDD
intel GMA X4500 integrated video
Windows 7 home premium 64 bit
The other games I run are FS2004 at 31fps, and CFS3

FSX does not do well on the Intel internal video cards, matter of fact most games don't do that well on the Intel internal video cards. FSX will run nicely on any of the nvidia 9200 internal and above and ATI3200 and above if you have enough CPU power and at least 2GB of memory.

This also applies to onboard video on motherboards for desktop computers
