You've chosen an APU and a dedicated graphics card, which is something you don't want to do. An APU operates as both a graphics accelerator and as a processor. You either want to buy a CPU + GPU, or an APU without a GPU. I'm not an experienced builder so I'm not going to recommend you any parts, but definitely wait for some of the forum users to chip in ideas before you order anything.

I play Flight sim X.... I can tell you this, th graphics can be put down, but the simulator calculates weather, wind, stall, avionics etc... on the cpu, my fx 6100 runs all 6 cores on the simulator and get an average of 35 and min of 20, that's ok for a simulator, so if you could get a fx-6300 and a dedicated gpu ypou'll be better, but a bit over the budget
