First Gaming PC

[someonewhoisonthisforum]

Budget (including currency): $1000 AUD

Country: Australia

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, average home use

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): 

I'm new to planning Pcs, I've planned this on PC Parts Picker. I was wondering if it would be better to get a better GPU and downgrade the CPU? I'm also wondering what every ones thoughts are on it too.
