Hello all,

As the title states: Is an EVGA 500 W1 80+ 500W Continuous Power enough power for a computer with these other parts:

Gigabyte Mini-ITX GA-H170N-WIFI
Asus GTX 1070 DUAL-GTX1070-O8G 8GB
Intel i5-6600
WD 1TB 7200 RPM HDD
Kingston Digital 120GB SSD
2 case fans

Much thanks!

It is enough.
though if you don't have it (power supply) yet, I'd recommend to get a better quality unit. They are not much more expensive.

Thanks for your response! I figured it was enough power since power since both are new gen processors. I'll maybe add a better psu in the coming months.

I'm doing the same build but with an i7 6700k, will 500w be sufficient for it as well?
 
yes it will be as the power draw difference between i5 and i7 is very small.
But if you are planning to buy PSU, better get something that have 0 fan speed mode and will remain silent even under load.
EVGA SuperNova G2 650 or Corsair RM650x are great examples of PSUs for overclockable and yet silent system.
