5950X is way too overkill for gaming.
Games dont utilize more than 6 cores at max,what do you need 16 for?
The most i would be going is the 5800X,8 cores and 16threads is more than enough for both gaming and workstation use.
Motherboard is also a requirement which you cant cheap out on with this cpu which requires solid VRM's for 5800X and needs to be solid overall.
32GB is also overkill for gaming.
A nice 16gb 3600mhz cl16 2x8gb is enough.
BUTTTTTT if you want to be extra future proof and want to have 50 google tabs open while msfs2020 is running,i'd say go for 32gb aswell,cuz why not with this budget.
"Any case" is not a good way of thinking.
Both 5000 series cpu's and 3000 series gpu's run really hot,you need a good balance between silence,space and cooling.
You cant put 2500$ worth of components in a 50$ case.
You would atleast need 3 fans at the front,2 at the top and 1 at the back.
Something like
this atleast.
Storage is also a requirement.
I agree on PSU,a good psu like RMx 850 should do the job just fine.
I would also like to suggest a really good AIO like
this one,or a absolute unit of a air cooler,like
this one.
Even a 3090 would struggle to get 60fps with msfs2020 at 4k ultra settings,so a 3080 which can deliver 45fps is more than enough for that game in my opinion,not to mention its a lot cheaper than a 3090.Availability is questionable on where you live.

Something i have to mention is that any motheboard (that supports 5000 series ofc) requires a BIOS update to run them.
Luckily this board has something called Q Flash Plus,which lets you update the BIOS without CPU and RAM installed.Or what would be easier is to find someone with a 3rd gen ryzen cpu so you can update the bios,but its a challenge to find someone with a 3rd gen ryzen cpu.
