I just want to run Microsoft Flight Simulator

Build Description
My last build was many years ago. It was an AMD A10 5800K, Gigabyte Fm2 motherboard and 8 gb Kingston RAM. I have been waiting 6 months to build my dream machine, but could not wait any longer. I just want to run M.S. Flight Simulator. I walked into Microcenter to buy a Lian Li Lancool II Mesh RGB case, and a few other items, since I have been buying pieces for my build here and there. I missed out on a Nvidia 3000 series GPU, but they had gotten many GTX 1660 cards. Since I could not get the Dark Hero MB, or a Ryzen 5950 CPU, and did not want to spend all my money on higher priced components, I decided on a budget build for now. Here it is. I will be using as many of these components as possible when I upgrade later.
Favorite Feature
The RGB and the Lian Li Lancool II RGB Mesh case. I am not the biggest fan of mesh cases, but understand the need. This was my compromise between looks and functionality.
