My old psu broke and I don't have that much money, but I found a cheap Silverstone 600w psu at a local tech store. Please help.

If you only want a PSU that will last you a few years, shorten other components lifespans as well as putting them at risk if the PSU dies, very loud, higher chance of random system crashes / reboots / instability, then sure.

Note the Silverstone Strider Essential 600 is incompatible with your GPU, the Strider Plus is compatible.

What other PSUs are available? You don't need a 600W PSU. Your system should be fine on a good 450w PSU.
