Flight simulator is one of those games that require lots of CPU power as oppose to GPU power. Purchasing a 800$ videocard isn't going to give much bang for the buck with this game. Take a look at this for example (link below), the difference isn't huge between GPUs.

Look at this article for a good reference on which card you might want to buy that match your budget (link below).

Good luck with...training.
