Hello. I need help with wattage count for a power supply.
Is there a general rule that people should follow when trying to pick a PSU for a build? For example, a friend told me that your power supply's wattage should be a little less than twice as many watts your build uses. He says to follow that rule because people should "just be safe."
My build currently uses 355 watts. What should my PSU wattage be?

In addition, what should it be if I were to replace the GTX 970 with a GTX 1070?
