It's compatible, but for your budget, I would rather get this, It has the latest chipset and processor. Even the GPU 7870 eats 560 ti and 580 for breakfast.

The ivy bridge processors have had heating issues while overclocking, right? So that's the only reason I am choosing the 2500k. Also iv'e heard that AMD cards don't perform as good as Nvidia for FSX? So do you think I should get this newer stuff instead of the older stuff for FSX?

Not really, there's really no sense getting an i5-2500k anymore unless you have a huge discount.

The i5-3570k is a better CPU because of architecture improvements.

This whole "heat issue" stuff about Ivy Bridge has been blown way out of proportion, at-least as far your not an extreme over-clocker using liquid nitrogen or the such. The 3570k is still better clock for clock, which easily makes up for the fact that it's not as easy to break into the 5 Ghz region. Architecture > raw speed, otherwise we'd all be happily recommending Q9650s.

The heating issues is just exaggeration. Using the hyper evo as a cooler and keeping the over clock up to 4.2-4.4ghz, the 3570k will be superior to 2500k. Also it's been a year since AMD releases 7870 so that means most of the driver problems has been fix and right now the AMD drivers are getting better and better and stable. But if your still skeptical about the radeon, you can just get the GTX 660ti for $20-$40 more than 7870. But personally, I prefer the 7870 when it comes to price and performance it delivers especially if you over clock the 7870.
