I'm planning to equip my rig with the SilverStone Essentials 650W 80+ Bronze (ET650-B).
It's all my budget can afford but since I don't want to compromise the safety of my components, I really want to hear some opinions.

Here are my components:
Ryzen 5 1600
MSI B350 Gaming pro
Avexir 8gb x2 3200mhz DDR4
Palit GTX 1070
Kingston 480G SSD
and some rgb fans

Will it suffice in the long run ?
TIA.

It's not a particularly good model and is listed on tier D. You could do worse but you can do a lot better also. I think it comes with a 5 year limited warranty. You should not go below tier C even for a budget model. Check this list.
