Hello, this is my first post on the tom's HARDWARE forum, i was wondering if the power supply that came with my pre built desktop will be good enough to pair with a gtx 1070?

This is the power supply https://gyazo.com/aaf879425288896592eb20263d99cb8c

Here's my current specs:
CPU: Intel(R)Core(TM)i7-6700k CPU @ 4.00Ghz
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960
Ram: ADATA XPG Z1 16GB DDR4
HDD: TOSHIBA DT01ACA200 2TB 7200 RPM
SSD: Sandisk Z400s 128 Gb
Motherboard: ASUS Z170-K ATX

Thank you.

That's only a 91W CPU. Good. Keep your i7 at stock clocks with that Allied PSU. Same with the gfx card...

The PSU's nameplate shows it has a +12V rail rated for 31 amps @ 372W. Sufficient for the 150W GTX 1070 as long as (a) you don't have a huge CPU and/or OC, and (b) the PSU has a 6+2 pin connector. However, Allied is not normally known to be a very good quality unit. I'd make my next purchase a new better quality PSU as soon as possible. Something in the 600W or better category.
