Good video card and processor combo?

I'm building a new system and I was wondering if this is a good combo to run FS with a bunch of payware scenery and planes and still get great frame rates:

 

GFX: Galaxy GeForce 9800 GTX 512MB

 

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 (not enough $ for an i7 just yet)

 

with 4GB of RAM. Should I be getting a nice show or should I up the chips?

Yes I think so.

 

I'm running a similar spec - difference is mine is a Q6600 oc to 3.4GHZ.

 

I run FSX, VOXATC, a demanding payware aircraft the flight 1 mustang, real time weather software, vfr scenery etc...

 

It's smooth and pretty - but don't expect to just move all the sliders to the right running all those add-ons.

 

You may need a mild overclock, especially if you intend to run detailed airport scenery.
