Yes, it would. You might have to drop the settings a little bit, but it would run all three of those flight sims okay. I'd be inclined to stick some more RAM in it though, otherwise your load times might be a bit lengthy.

In my view that machine would not be money well spent.

I think you'll get a far better experience with 16GB RAM, and a 9700K cpu.  And I would want an 8GB vram video card as well.

Chock is right that it would run things, but how well...is the question.  I do not know what your expectations are, but I would not want you to spend money on something that will probably leave you a little underwhelmed when you can get something like a 9700K.  I'd save for that.   

You also want to remember that the newer versions of these sims make use of lots of vram.  The 6GB vidcards will get you in the door to the future, but that's about it.  I would want at least an 8GB vram card going forward.
