Hello,
I have a DIY portable PC project that will not accept an ATX psu because it is an ultra small form factor. I plan to use the following pico psu to power my CPU/motherboard/ram and ssd. I will use the Noctua Low Profile NH-L9i to cool my Ryzen 2600 (non OC).

Then I will use this eGPU dock to power my GTX 1060 3gb:

The trouble is that would mean carrying around TWO laptop power supplies and I was at first going to use a 150 watt laptop power supply like this one: http://www.chargers-pc.co.uk/hp-ac-adapters-c-51_1/original-150w-adapter-charger-hp-ed519aaaba-hstnnha09-cord-p-11347.html
However instead of that I want to use one Dell 330 watt laptop charger like this: http://www.chargers-pc.co.uk/dell-ac-adapters-c-51_5/original-330w-adapter-dell-alienware-x51-i74770-i73770-cord-p-18336.html
The eGPU dock accepts DC-DC power supplies so I was thinking of using a two-in-one DC adaptor like this one: https://www.kenable.co.uk/en/cctv-security/cctv-cables-reels/6988-kenable-dc-power-splitter-4-way-adapter-21mm-cctv-12v-psu-to-4-camera-cable-006988-5055383469888.html?gclid=CjwKCAjwmdDeBRA8EiwAXlarFpxUAkhznNIx8ROGJ3xPwYOw7EzTPW7LpuuWeDOV1MHUJLink5QeLxoC_p8QAvD_BwE
That would cut down on the amount of external accessories and mean I wouldn't have to do any sketchy soldering or anything. Would that work fine? The GTX 1060 3gb only uses 120 watts max and the Ryzen 2600 is a 65 watt CPU so I am well within a 300 watt power limit.
I would only use one SSD maybe a second m.2 ssd later on for a boot drive and additional storage. This would be for an ultra portable gaming PC that has to be very small and light to fit in a backpack since I travel a lot.
I already have the CPU cooler, graphics card, and SSD. I was planning on upgrading to Ryen in the near future and was going to go Mini ITX anyway and I have a shielded PCIE extension cable for the graphics card to lay it flat.
Any thoughts on this build?
