Not really, you should look at the CX 2017 from corsair instead.

Potentially dangerous, but only in specific situations

So I keep my statement, no, it's not a good idea.

No, it's quite a bad group regulated design. It can only deliver 400w of usable power.

Looking at the picture above, it is indeed a group regulated design. According to the manufacturer, it lacks over temperature protections and over current protection. Honestly, I've seen worse designs, but I've definitely seen better.

I wouldn't use this PSU. I feel like it's a risk to put a load on this thing with modern components. You're better off saving up and buying a new one, like a Corsair CX550, Xilence Performance A+, or Be quiet! System Power 9.

Is anyone of these better?I'm also no longer getting the rx 570 im getting a gtx 1060 3gb

I'm afraid none of those will do. Try looking for a System Power 9, Xilence Performance A+, Pure Power 11CM, or a Corsair CX550. Those are the minimum PSUs I'd use.

Also, don't get a 1060 3gb. RX 570 is just as powerful as it and more often than not, it's cheaper. If it's cheaper, then go for it.

Please don't. The Corsair CX, Cooler Master MasterWatt, and Xilence Performance A+ are so much better in similar price range. If you ABSOLUTELY cannot find those units, and can't afford more, a SeaSonic S12III or Corsair VS can do. But please, get one of the former 3.
