I have an EVGA 500w power supply and was wondering if that would be enough to power the gtx 1070.
 
Solution
the 500w power supply that evga has is rather mediocre in quality compared to some other power supplies. but its ok and if all you are running is a basic i5 and the 1070 then you should be more than fine. the 1070 is a 175w card and a basic i5 is about 75w so with the rest of the system you have plenty of wattage headroom. cheers.
