TRN2-600NL2NC Planning on using AMD Radeon RX 6600 1, i5 12400, Motherboard GIGABYTE B660M DS3H. I bought this PSU about 6-8 years ago Would I be risking damaging the new Parts or would it be safe to use? Or should I just buy a new psu?

Buy a new, better quality PSU. Seriously, don't take the risk. There are many affordable options. What is your budget and specs for complete build?

That unit honestly wasnt even safe to use new. (I would know, I had a TR2 as well).
I would definitely recommend a new PSU, especially given its age and quality.

Get a new PSU. Avoid the risk of running an outdated poorly manufactured unit.

I already bought the parts just waiting for them to be delivered based on the advice here I will have to wait till my next paycheck to buy a PSU I was hoping I could save a hundred bucks lol

Having a reliable well made PSU , protects and runs your setup. It's a great investment.

If you are in the US this would work for cheap. Sale ends today. 40 bucks.

Of course a more modern design would be a better option.
