Best computer for FSX and gc2
i just ordered a gc2 and now i need a computer to run the software, i'll be using a 1080p 60" lcd as my monitor and need to know what computer specs i need, foresight's website is a little general as far as graphics needs, can i get away with the intel hd 5500 built in graphics, or do i need a more powerful standalone gpu , and if so how much power do i need to efficiently run the fsx software?

so i've been searching computers all day, and althought i don't have a set a budget the more i can save the better. i like the form factor of the alienware x51, i specced it out with the following, do you think this could handle the entire FSX simulator suite that's capable of 4k....
4th Generation Intel® Core™ i5-4460 Processor (Quad Core, 6MB Cache, up to 3.4GHz w/ Turbo Boost)
8GB Dual Channel DDR3 at 1600Mhz
AMD Radeon™ R9 270 with 2GB GDDR5 (Standard)
i upgraded the graphics card from the stock nvidia gtx 750 ti and from all the benchmarks the radeon seems a more capable card, not top of the line, but i think it should be more than good enough for the fsx software? can anyone more computer savvy say yay or nay?
