Well first of all, no current declassified computer can run FSX at Max.
However, I have a similar Dell XPS M1330, which is basically the M1730s smaller cousin.
My specs are almost exactly the same as the specs you are asking about.
I get flyable performance out of FSX at medium settings, and so will you.

With the specs listed should I be able to max out the scenery and other things but still have fluid graphics.

No.
No current declassified computer can run FSX at Max and attain flyable, fluid graphics.
You will however have fine performance and graphics which resemble FS2004 maxed out with that computer.
But You may only be able to pump up the settings to medium or less in FSX

It has been documented that regardless of Video card(s)(or the specs of the cards i.e.: 9800GTX, GTX 260, and other top end cards), or the amount of memory you have (4-16Gb), FSX performance is limited by the CPU speed. Even if you have multiple processors (more then quad cores) you are going to have some good graphics as long as you do not have all the sliders to the right.

I am running Quad Core 2.4, 8800 Ultra, and 4GB at 1066 and everything runs pretty nicely. I have the airplane maxed out, and everything else on about medium. I have tried full maxed out before, and its a little choppy.
