Budget (including currency): $550-600

Country: USA

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Mfsf 2020, x-plane 11, and light video editing and be able to run obs

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 am planing to buy as soon as posible and would like to go amd but intel is also fine will be playing at 1080p medium setting and atleast be able to get 30+ fps and can run obs in the background and i use hitfilm for my video editing software so if it can run that that would be great here is the parts list

I changed around a bit, 500gb would not be enough for storage. I removed the m.2 ssd and put in a 120gb sata drive for windows and some apps (or a small game). I also added a 2tb HDD for mass storage. I changed out the case for a cheaper one, this one comes with fans and decent airflow. Changed the GPU to a 6600 which is close to (or more than) double the performance of the other card. Should be a decent 1080p card. I changed the PSU to a 400w one, you dont need a 500w PSU, your system should only need around 300W of power, you will have enough room to do some light overclocks too.

Don't get a 6500xt, especially not with a 10400.  Just don't get either of them, you can do a lot better for your money.

Sorry to do this, but I changed pretty much everything.  This is by far the best system you're gonna get for your money.  For $600, this will get you playing everythihng at ultra 1080p (most games would run pretty well at 1440p as well):

 

• Hyperthreaded hexacore
• Wifi / Blueooth motherboard
• 1TB Gen 3 SSD with a DRAM cache
• Good enough PSU
• Very fast GPU for the money (most important for gaming) WAY faster than that 6500xt, which is not a good GPU to be using on a non PCIe 4.0 platofrm like the one you chose, or at all really.

 

For $600:

For $650 you could get a better CPU that would probably handle MSFS better with it having double the L3 cache:

If you don't like the case, you can get something else.  That was just the cheapest one that included fans and had some airflow.

I've actually used that case to build a PC for my dad, and it was nice to work in and actually looked pretty nice when it was done, but any of these would also be good while costing a little more:

 

Cougar MX330-G Air ATX Mid Tower Case (MX330-G Air) - PCPartPicker

 

Zalman S2 ATX Mid Tower Case (S2) - PCPartPicker (acrylic)

Zalman S2 ATX Mid Tower Case (S2 TG) - PCPartPicker (glass)

 

BitFenix Nova Mesh SE ATX Mid Tower Case (BFC-NSE-300-KKGSK-4A) - PCPartPicker

 

DIYPC Rainbow-Flash-F4 ATX Mid Tower Case (Rainbow-Flash-F4-B) - PCPartPicker 

On this case you'd need to move the intake fans to the inside of the front panel as they are currently installed on the outside which restricts airflow but it would have good airflow if you did that.

 

Thermaltake V150 Tempered Glass ARGB Breeze MicroATX Mid Tower Case (CA-1R1-00S1WN-02) - PCPartPicker

 

These cases are also pretty good but don;t include an exhaust fan, so add $5 for one of those as you'll want one:

I knoow it's ahrd to find it on PCPP, but the 6650xt is avtually only $15 more than the 6600.  It's buried in the filter because there are more 6600xts out there, but it's cheaper than the 6600xt, and only $15 more than the 6600.

but why not go for a 550w power supply rather than a 400w because it is the same price and it has black cables and also it is semi modular but other than that thank you for suggesting me with this

yes i really like your parts list and will have to go with the 600 dollar pc build cuz restricted on money but i will be changing the case because i would like tempered glass and i will also change the power supple i dont think i really need a 600w unit and it also has ketchup and musturd cables so i will just stick to the original power supply but anyway thanks a lot i really appriciet it

Case, sure, the zalman S2 that was $60 includes all the fans and has good airflow.  The $55 one had acrylic but the $60 one has tempered glass.

I think that thermaltake v150 breeze also has tempered glass.

 

PSU, I mean, black marker if you must, you really never notice it.  That extra 50 watts might be nice if you wanna boost the GPU or CPU.  But either is OK.  The older TT smart units were always dumpster fire-tier but the BM2 is supposed to be a little better.

Actually, this case is pretty similar to the one you originally chose but it has better airflow and has a tempred glass panel.  It includes one intake fan and one exhaust fan so it''s run fine, and you could add more fans later if you wanted to:

BitFenix NOVA MESH SE TG ATX Mid Tower Case (BFC-NSE-300-WWGKW-RP) - PCPartPicker

 

This one also kinda fits the bill, for $5 more but it comes with 4 fans that are RGB capable:

BitFenix Nova Mesh SE ATX Mid Tower Case (BFC-NSE-300-WWGKW-4A) - PCPartPicker

 

This one is also $60 and has good airflow, but it does not come with an exhaust fan:

(the fans can be any color)
