I am looking for advice. I am looking to replace Phoenix RC with RealFlight8, and, as necessary, upgrading or replacing my old PC

Here is my old(current) PC:
Dell Desktop XPS (purchased 2013)
-running Windows 10 (in spite of Dell saying it wouldn't run on W10)
-Processor Intel Core i7-3770 3.4GHz
-NVIDIA GeForce 620
-RAM 8GB

Here is what RealFlight says:
Minimum PC Specs:
Memory:512 MB
Graphics Card:NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200
CPU:Intel Pentium 4 2.00GHz
RealFlight 8 File Size:10 GB
OS:Windows 7, 8, or 10
Recommended PC specs:
Memory:2 GB
Graphics Card:NVIDIA GeForce 7200 GS
RealFlight 8 CPU:Intel Core 2 Duo T7700
File Size:10 GB
OS:Windows 7, 8, or 10

RealFlight suggests at minimum I need to replace my graphics card with a
GeForce FX 5200.

My questions:
-am I likely to get sluggish performance on RF8 if I only upgrade graphics card to GeForce FX 5200?
-if its time to upgrade my PC, can you recommend a PC package/components that will do Realflight8 justice. Consider also that I already have sluggish performance with video editing on my current PC with PowerDirector17 which is the only other demanding software I use. (I realize I need to add a SSD drive, amoung other things, to speed up PowerDirector)
Any advice appreciated, even if it is where I might find more detailed info online.

Thanks.
