I'm currently using a Corsair GS700 PSU with my Ryzen 7 3700X and an RX 580. I'm planning to upgrade to an 8400F CPU along with a new motherboard and RAM, and I want to pair it with a 7600 XT. Is my current power supply sufficient for this setup?

You should be totally fine! The 7600 XT pulls less power compared to other higher-end cards, and since the 5070 Ti recommends a PSU in the 700W-750W range, you're more than covered. Just keep an eye on your PSU's performance as you upgrade your components.
Yeah, the GS700 may be a bit old, but it still holds up pretty well! The 8400F is on the cheaper side, and while it's weaker than the 7500F, it should still work fine. I personally use the GS700 with an overclocked 5700X and a 6650 XT, and it handles it well! Just keep an eye on it; you might need to upgrade later if you switch to a stronger CPU or GPU.
I had never heard of that PSU before I looked it up—it's around 10 years old, right? How long have you been using it?
I've got it as a hand-me-down and I'm just upgrading from there.
