A faster processor might help FSX load faster, but your graphics card has more influence on frames.  What are you running for a card?

And further more ..what I have learned is that FSX is more demanding on the Processor than the Ram or Video Card..check out software like the  PMDG B737NG and what they call for..for best performance
