Hello, what's the best PSU for my build? Although I'm not knowledgeable about Overclocking but what matters is the longevity (span), efficiency,materials and capable of handling heavy loads. 50-75$ will do. I'm on a budget!

Motherboard: MSI H270 Gaming Pro Carbon

CPU:  Intel Core i3-7100 3.9Ghz Kabylake Processor

GPU: XFX Radeon RX 470 RS 4GB GDDR5 1256MHZ Black Edition

RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX 8GB Single DDR4 2400 CL14 

HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB WD10EZEX

PSU: Aerocool Strike-X 600w PSU 80Plus Bronze(I heard Aerocool aren't good)(@65$)

Chassis: Deepcool Dukase V2 Full ATX Chassis

CPU Cooling: ID Cooling icekimo 240w CPU Water Cooler

Optical Drive: HP 1265i 24X Multiformat DVD Writer (oem)
 
In most of the cases the stock cooler which came with the CPU will be fine no custom cooler needed. And you can save money and can get a SDD it will be better. And I recommend to get a G4560 instead of 7100. Because the performance are same but the G4560 is quite cheap.
 
@Cyberblade, i posted my very first question which is "Bottleneck between G4560 and RX 470 GPU" and they told me it will bottleneck and they suggested​ that i3-7100 won't cause any Bottleneck, and by the way is the liquid already included on AIO Cooling? Since I'm about to build my PC this week. And i have no idea on how AIOs work. Kindly post links
 
G4560 not going to bottleneck the RX 470. You can see this:--

And you did not need a water cooler. Water cooling is only useful if you are overclocking an unlocked CPUs like 7700k, 7600k, etc. You are fine with stock cooler as your CPU is locked. And if you want to have a custom cooler you can get a custom air cooler but in your case it will be waste of money.
 
That CPU and GPU are a great budget combo but its wrong to say there will be no bottleneck. BF1 for example a modern i5 can't always hold 60fps in multiplayer but your gpu is able to achieve 60 fps @ 1080p with medium to high settings. Therefore even an i5 can bottleneck in certain circumstances.
