Good above average specs, but you'll need to buy and install a graphics card for it, integrated CPU graphics won't do well in MSFS and X-Plane 11+.

Make sure you have the ability to upgrade to 64GB also, I ran with 32 for a long time, but eventually bought the added memory and it's really helped, at least for MSFS.

Dan is right also, you absolutely MUST get a respectable GPU for usable performance.

Oh, and one other comment, the 1TB drive is a bit low, when I bought my system it had 2 TB, that drive ended up having a boot failure, so I upgraded it to 4TB and I keep the original as sort of backup storage, games have gotten BIG, they need lots of space, I wouldn't start with less than 2.
