Yes.

var matchingFilePaths = Directory.EnumerateFiles(@"C:\")
                          .Where(filePath => filePath.EndsWith("x.txt"));

If you need to work with the file contents, you can start with using FileInfo:

var fileInfo = new FileInfo("path\to\file.ext");
var fullPath = fileInfo.FullName;

Putting it together:

var matchingFiles = Directory.EnumerateFiles(@"C:\")
                      .Where(filePath => filePath.EndsWith("x.txt"))
                      .Select(filePath => new FileInfo(filePath).FullName);
