Can these specs work for X Plane at the very least?

Question

I am a beginner of X Plane and I think it's not time to go for the ultimate system specifications. So I tried to mix and match your minimum and recommended requirements for the game. Can the following settings run the game? I would like to know before I purchase one of the machines I've identified as I don't want to buy something that will never play. My current machine hanged while starting X Plane, so I need an improved version. So below are the two options that I have:

My minimum settings

Intel Core i3 7100 upto 3.9GHz 7th Generation Processor for desktop / 8GB DDR3 Crucial Desktop RAM { brand new } / NVIDIA GeForce 4GB GT 730 Graphics Card / 

My ideal settings

Intel Core i3 7100 upto 3.9GHz 7th Generation Processor for desktop / 16GB DDR4 Ballistix Sport UDIMM 2400mhz Desktop Ram single stick{ brand new } / NVIDIA 2GB GT 1030 GDDR5 GAMING Graphics Card / or use the NVIDIA GeForce 4GB GT 730 Graphics Card / 

Help me with this puzzle. 

Thanks.

Hello,

These are not very high end specs and xplane is very demanding. Also 4gb of dedicated ram is not really enough.

The default aircraft and scenery may run okay, but any add-ons or scenery will most likely put you between 10 -20 FPS on low-medium settings.

If you want to just play and not expand and buy airplanes or scenery it will be fine and should run around 25 - 28 fps.
