I have a psu gigabyte p610a c2.
Will it be enough for a gtx 1060 or maybe 1070?

Running on i5 7500
8gb gskill 2400

Also, is my psu a good quality brand?

That PSU can supply the power needed (those 1060s and 1070s GPUs are very low-powered). Although, for me, quality and reliability-wise, I wouldn't get a PSU being sold as "Superb 720" (720W? peak?) but can only output a max. combined load of 610W with only 504W total coming from the +12V_1-3 rails (18A per +12V rail). It's OEM is AcBel Polytech by the way, whose own PSUs were rated poorly.

It's definitely a weird PSU.
Advertised with three 12V rails, all running at 18Amps, the picture I saw had 504W under one of the 12v rails, and nothing under the others, so I'd say that 504W is the maximum for all of them, with that, it seems like the each 12v rail runs on 14Amps.
I mean, yeah it should run a 1070, if it has a 6+2 or 8pin it should work.
It is definitely weird that the made it a triple 12v rail unit, if that's actually true.

I don't think it's a good PSU though.
