Hello everyone, this is my first post here, sorry for my english in advance, as it isn't my native language, and sorry if this is the wrong place to post it

So i'll try to be as clearly as possible, here is my question

Recently i bought this case, a Sharkoon Night Shark
https://pt.sharkoon.com/product/NIGHTSHARK

It's very similar to the Rosewill Prism s500, except for the front tempered glass. It has a very good air flow, but as you can see, the PSU is mounted at the top of the case, with the fan directly above the CPU, so the PSU takes hot air while gaming from the gpu and cpu, even tough the case has a 120mm exausthor in the back. I checked the temperatures and they're all at normal levels (cpu 32C dle and 45C full load, for the GPU is 40C idle and 60C full load) the climate here this time of the year is normally at 27/30ºC during the day.

Question is, in a long term usage how bad will my psu suffer from the hot air that goes trough it ? I known that the case is probably "tested" for problems like this or they'll never release it this way, but i'm just curious if it was a good deal to buy it and any other caution i must take

Full setup is

PSU : XFX XT600
CPU : I5 6500
GPU : RX 480 8GB STRIX

Thank you so much for anyone who can answer me

I read about it being a Seasonic rebranded, some says that is good, others that isn't lol. But as long as it holds the system for sometime i'll probably buy a new one later
