Question Build 1440p recommendation

[JJ_Lazy]

Hello.
I'm considering a new build to play games at 1440p, primarily focusing on triple-A titles.
I'm undecided on the path to take. I'd like to create something durable with excellent performance that will last for several years before upgrading the graphics card and repeating the process. If possible, I'd like to spend wisely, also considering buying used components. My initial idea was to aim for components released a few years ago. I never buy games at release but rather a year or two later. Therefore, I don't need the latest GPU

I was thinking of a build with:

CPU: Ryzen 5 5600X
Cooler: your choice
Motherboard: with Wi-Fi. I prefer MOBA microATX because when I can no longer use the PC for gaming purposes due to it being too old, I want to repurpose the CPU core, motherboard into a multimedia PC or for casual use, all within a small case.
RAM: 16/32GB ddr4 4000mhz
Storage: 2 SSDs. One smaller 500gb SSD for the OS. The other disk should be at least 2TB.
GPU: Radeon RX 6700XT 12GB
Case: H6 or H7, lancool 216 or 4000d airflow. I would like excellent airflow performance. I'll also buy it slightly larger (h6 or h7) so that when I upgrade the graphics card, I'm sure I won't have space issues... hopefully
PSU: I have an old power supply, Seasonic S12II 620W Bronze. Looking at it, it seems compatible with the 6700XT, can you confirm?

I plan to spend around $550-700, purchasing some components new and others used and without counting to change the PSU.

Alternatively, I had thought of this new build:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X or AMD Ryzen 5 7600
Cooler: your choice
Motherboard: Micro-atx, with wi-fi and one slot for upgrade ssd pcie 5.0.
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR5-6400 CL32 Memory
Storage: 2 SSDs. One smaller 500gb SSD for the OS. The other disk should be at least 2TB. For now, I don't intend to buy SSD 5.0 because they are too expensive.
GPU: RTX 4070 SUPER 12 GB or Radeon RX 6700XT 12GB
Case: NZXT H7 Flow ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: I don't think my PSU is compatible with the 4070s. Can you confirm?

Total with 4070s: 1860.12$ (I'm also considering purchasing a random 750W PSU and a 100$ for a random cooler)
Total with 6700xt (used): 1250$ (I'm not considering changing the PSU)

Thank you.

PS: I'm open-minded to receive advice. No RGB

Your old Seasonic S12II should NOT be used with any new system. That PSU was designed back in 2007 so it doesn't have support for the newer power states, IIRC it is group regulated, and just not good compared to modern PSUs anymore.

That old seasonic PSU should not be used in any PC with a graphics card at this point. If you were to keep that PSU you would be gambling with the destruction of at least the PSU and any PC components attached to it...

As for a new build that is great that keeps costs down, here you go:

If you want a secondary storage the crucial P3 plus 4tb for 237 dollars is a steal. I chose a great airflow case with no glass side panel because I figured with no RGB you cannot see inside with glass anyways. Every part I chose was for maximizing performance to the dollar. I would say its a pretty optimal build. A great AMD alternative is the build by @Why_Me .
