It will run default FSX & FSX Acceleration with no addons okay. The CPU is a 2600 and you can not OC a 2600 by much if at all.
If they would change the CPU to a 2600K that would be a lot better because you could OC your system between 4.4GHz and 4.8GHz pretty easily.
The way it is now the more addons you add that required CPU cycles the more your FPS will fall.
If you get it you need to put FSX on its own hard drive and I would get another hard drive for FSX and install it.
You can use the 80GB SSD for your OS and any programs that have to go on the OS drive. Use the 500GB for everything else.
Get a third drive for FSX and FSX addons only. I would recommend a 600GB WD Velociraptor, but if that is to much money then get the fasted 7,200 RPM drive with the biggest cache you can find that fits your budget.
