A used RX 580 8GB is around the same price point so I'd say it's actually a good deal. I often see used 1060 6gb models for closer to $130 or even $150 so this one's got good bang for buck. What specific MSI model is it?

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

They seem to sell for $150 and the 6GB version is surprisingly capable for VR fwiw, but a 1070 also seems to pop up on ebay these days for $150-170.
