Most flight sims tend to be CPU hogs. I'd go with at least an Intel i3 (or an AMD equivalent in performance) if I'm going to get into flight sims.

My youngest kid has an AMD A10-7850k and a 2GB R9 390. She doesn't stress her computer that much. Minecraft is her most-played game. Otherwise, she plays mostly browser-based games.

I'm leaning towards your computer not being able to handle most newer flight sims. But, the only way to find out for sure is for you to buy a flight sim game and see how it runs. If it runs fine? Good. If not, then you know you have to upgrade.

You might get by with 720p resolution and Low detail settings if you go with the APU. I would not bother with a newer GPU if you plan to play newer flight sims. The A10-9800 is probably too weak a CPU overall.
It's my htpc rig bro output goes to 4k tv. Amd R7, can this run 5 year old/er flight sim games?

I do not have plans (yet) to upgrade, but might in a year or two; unless i really enjoy playing (again lol).
