You can play flight sim on a raspberry pi with 500mb of ram. This notion that its hard to run is silly. Will he be able to max it? hell no. Will he be able to run it on medium settings with lower draw distances at 60 fps? Absolutely.

Building your pc is a lot of personal taste, but I will try to give you some advise, where to start and what to consider. 

 

I would start with picking a cpu. Intel and AMD are the most popular cpu manufactures. They have cpus which are almost the same:

Intel Core i3 is like AMD Ryzen 3

Intel Core i5, is like AMD Ryzen 5

Intel Core i7 is like AMD Ryzen 7.

The higher the number, the more cores and the higher the number of commands it can complete per second. 

For an office pc, i3 or Ryzen 3 is fine. With your budget you could go for i5 or Ryzen 5 for some extra speed. 

 

Next pick a motherboard which can hold your cpu in it's socket. So AM4 socket for AMD or 1200 socket for Intel. Also the chipset has to support your CPU generation. Chipsets and motherboards decide, which connectors your pc will have. (like usb 3.1, USB c,...). Also there are different sizes. From mini itx to eATX. Micro atx is usually the cheapest size because it is sold the most. 

Also decide if you want to be able to overclock or not. 

 

As a cpu cooler you can pick the stock Version. That one is rather cheap but it works. For more silence, you can buy a bigger air cooler or an all in one watercooler. 

 

RAM should be 8 or 16 GB for gaming. You should look which RAM speeds are supported by your motherboard and your CPU. 

 

Your power supply is usually really long living. So I recommend to pick a good silent one for >50$ to have a good one for the next 10 years and future builds. 

 

Your case should be able to carry your motherboard size, your power supply size and support good airflow. For example the fractal design meshify c has a mesh Front panel which is great for your cooling. 

 

For storage you should pick an ssd. A nvme ssd is a decent option because it can be right on your motherboard without any cables and it's pretty fast. 

If you need a lot of storage for pictures, music,... You can get a hdd in addition to the ssd. Make sure you install your os on the ssd to make it boot really fast. 

 

I dont really know AMD graphics cards but nvidia sells the 1660 super, which can be a good Option for you, or if you want to go faster, maybe rtx 3060, rtx 3070, rtx 3080. Depending on how much budget you have left.
