Avoid swapping PSU, don’t rely on old ones—it’s too dangerous, but it might be worth it
Together with storage devices, these are two components I usually avoid thinking about purchasing secondhand. The numerous moving parts mean problems can arise easily, and handling warranties on used items can be quite frustrating. Still, I’m unsure which PSU model this is, so I can’t say for sure if it’s a good choice either way.
The SX600-G? Why? This is an SFX PSU, while your case takes ATX PSU's. I mean, there is nothing wrong with this PSU.. But just be sure you get the ATX bracket included with it. I would reconsider the SSD to a 500GB+ model, because a decent 500GB SSD is usually not much more than an 860 EVO 250GB (so something like a 660p or even MX500 would work). I do not know this case, so can't comment on its quality. Be to sure to check if the 1070 Ti is still a good deal, what I mean is that a 5700XT or 2060 Super will be basically the same performance. If you're buying an older GPU new, just be sure you do it's because it's a great deal.
