The system RAM and GPU look easily good enough. How much VRAM have you got ? As for the processor, it certainly looks okay to me, but I'll leave that to the experts here.

EDIT: When you say 64-bit OS, which OS ? MSFS requires Windows 10 minimum.

I'd say that's a perfectly satisfactory system for MSFS. The minimum VRAM spec from Microsoft is 2Gb, but that's a bit of a stretch to say the least. 8Gb will be fine. Looking at the specs some people are using at Avsim, your system is better than a lot of them. However - don't take my word for it. Wait till the more guru-ish amongst us have chipped in.

I'd say you'll be fine, provided you don't try to run 4k or vr.
I use the same video card and can handle most settings at ultra @1080. Your CPU may be a bit weak, so you'll have to turn down some settings, but I think you'll be surprised how well it will run.

As others have said, the CPU, might mean you need to dial some things back, but it should run quite happily. :cpu:
