Also confused with PSU's and the cabinet.

PSU Tier List rev. 17.0g - Cultists Network

PSU Tier List will help you to choose the best PSU out of hundreds of models on the market. From budget to the highest end Power Supplies.
cultists.network cultists.network

Pylon is a low tier PSU. Other PSUs like Cooler Master MWE Bronze or Deepcool PM Gold series are much better while being in the same price range.
 
Buy used, everything.....ssd are cheaper right now so u can get them new....rest u can find used cheaper easily.....olx or facebook.....if u want i can share u some whatsapp group links for buying used stuff
 
Config selected looks good. A few suggestion basis my experience

- Upgrade to rx6700/6650xt from rx570 if buying new. Price difference between RX6600 and 6700 is marginal. If possible aim for 10GB or higher VRAM version

- PSU is a criticial component . Ideally should look at Tier B or C PSU. While it might be costlier, it would also outlast most of other PC compnents . If you plan to upgrade to Rx6600XT , 850W PSU will be overkill. 650W should be more than sufficient with enough headroom for any occasional spikes.

- Check RAM compatibility with the motherboard that you plan to install upon. Many unlisted memory modules may not work at all or have limited functionality. In my case 2x8GB Kingston 3200Mhz worked fine with a Gigabyte B450 motherboard in XMP mode while Gskill didnot.
