Are you buying this new or second hand? Is it a package deal or are these a couple deals you found compiled into one list?

What specific PSU is that?

 

Just throwing a system similar to this (except the fans), it looks like buying it in the way you are will save you about 250 USD

Except the 5700XT is just a bit better than the 1070 Ti.

 

So if it's second hand.. It's not any outstanding deal - if you're specifically looking to get components like those in the build..

Those are two parts (together with storage devices) I never consider a good idea to buy second hand.

So many moving parts that can have things go wrong and dealing with warranty on second hand parts can be quite annoying. But I still don't know what PSU it is, so I can't comment if it's a decent option 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.
