Is it necessarily for me to upgrade Cooler Master B500 VER.2, 500W PSU or can i just use it with the asus gtx 1070 rog strix OC? I've used it for 1,5years
I would, those coolermaster units are very poor quality, and most likely won't survive long, with that setup. A Corsair CX550m is a much better unit, and isn't overly expensive, right now.

You don't need to spend anywhere near $150 mate for a good quality psu.the new cxm are great quality, semi modular, 5 year warranty (the 450 even is more than enough for a 1070 + Intel CPU), the 550 is plainly the best pricepoint.
