600w PSU enough for i5-4690k + GTX 1070?

Solution
Yeah but still not very well performing
Two GTX 1070s would be 300W. Add in the 4690K he's looking at 450W max load. Overclocking, more like 550W. I think something like an FSP Hydro G 650W would be a good choice, sweet spot for efficiency since gaming load is generally about 60-70% of the max throttle load.

Sorry, when I said "Will a 600w PSU be enough for the two?", I meant whether the 600w will be enough for a build with the 4690k and the 1070, not two 1070s hehe.
Do you think that the 600w will be enough for the 4690k and 1070 in that case?

Yeah, probably a good idea to upgrade. It's not a bad power supply, but it's not ideal for high load situations.
It's kind of overkill, but the EVGA GQ 750W is great value for money now with a $20 rebate.

It does perform very well. Tom's just either botched the review or got a faulty unit.
