Hello friends are the technical specifications of my next PC, can FSX run without problems and at a good pace ?, thank you very much for your comments
I5 7400 3,50GHz Tb 6mb 4 nucleos
SSD Crucial M2 MX300 275Gb
motherboard GYGABYTE B250-DS3H
ram 8GB DDR4 2133MHz (1X8)
graphics ASUS GEFORCE DUAL GTX 1060 3GB
power alimentation MARS GAMING MPI 650
If you are asking is it adequate...yes and no! If you load up with Orbx FTX global you will wish you had at least a card with 256 bit bus width. The 1060 is 192 bit. a 384 bit bus width is even better. I recommend at least an Nvidia 1070 or better. The 970 SC is also a very good video card. If you intend to play the new X-Plane 11 at some point or AeroFly 2 you will want 4GB of GDDR 5 memory and at least a 256 bit bus width.
The rest of your choice seems fine.

Many thanks to all for your comments, unfortunately I have no more budget, but I can always do some improvement later
Exactly...

That being said, my i5 3.2ghz quad core runs FSX SE quite well.
Let Being Helpful Be More Important Than Being Right.
If you're also running games and other sims, don't go for the 3 GB version of the GTX1060 and go for the 6 GB version instead.
If you can find a better deal, go for a higher clocked i5 such as the 7500. More GHz means better FSX performance. Same for the memory. Faster = Better Performance.
You can cut back on the power supply in return. 550 watts are more than enough for a modern system.
Just know that the I7 7400 runs at 3.0, it will turbo clock to 3.5. As Bjoern posted go with the 6gb 1060 instead of the
3gb card. If you can find the Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1060 with the faster 9 GBPS DDR5 memory go with that one.

And the SSD is way too small, that would be good for just the operating system, with another much bigger drive for FSX. I have a 1 terrabyte SSD for the just sim, and I'm crowding it.
The size of the SSD is okay. I can comfortably fit Windows 10 and an entire FSX partition on 230 GB. (A benefit of keeping low on unneeded add-ons and putting programs that are not performance critical on a HDD.)
