What cpu are you going to get? Your 1070 takes max 200W if overclocked, i doubt there is or will be any new gen cpu that will draw over 200W.
I recommend to find out how much your new cpu will draw and then consider to buy a new psu. But if u decide that u want to waste some money then 850 will be plenty even to run 2 x 1070 in sli... my 2 cents

I'm going to be building with the new x299 chipset in August and a compatible octa-core. If I were estimating power draw, I guess it would be similar to an overclocked 6900k. I'm still undecided about getting a second 1070 but I probably will. The platinum would be nice for the power efficiency and eco fan mode, but the 1000G2 would mean no worries "hakuna matatta".

1000g2 has eco mode too, go for it then. However with such setup even quality 800 will be more than enough, if u dont believe use online calculators, even at pcpartpicker.com is pretty accurate. Ill pass here, good luck
