Never heard of Game-Max. Who actually makes those? I almost always recommend Seasonic when it comes to PSUs.

Links to the components would help. Not everyone keeps up with what all the latest releases or benchmarks are and of course a computer from 2008 will still run Live, it's what you intend to do within Live which matters and an idea of what your current system is (if any) and what limitations you have found to compare.

Does certainly seem to be a build heavily geared around the RGB unicorn spew of components which I guess will look pretty. I'm personally more of a jet black box industrial look myself since it would end up looking like the inside of my daughters room otherwise.

All I can say from the list of parts and numbers is if everything is compatible and works together, it will run Live. No idea about MSFS, never played it nor would I probably ever.

I tend to choose either Corsair or Thermaltake myself only because I have never had issues with either of these in decades but PSUs these days are all pretty reliable and most branded ones are all built to certain standards, far less issues these days than the early wild west of computer building back in the early 2000s
