Is this Seasonic 400w gold psu can handle GTX 1070?

Probably. It is a very high quality unit with enough power for your system. A high end system containing a GTX 1070 and overclocked 7700k draws ~230w, so it should definitely be enough for yours. http://www.techspot.com/review/1182-nvidia-geforce-gtx-1070/page7.html
Edit: I forgot about the pins. As Rcald2000 pointed out, that Seasonic unit only has one PCIe 6 + 2 pine connector, which means it is not compatible with GPUs needing 2 or more 8pin connectors. This means about 28% of the GTX 1070s are incompatible with your PSU.
What exact model is that GPU? Or, you can go to this partlist (https://pcpartpicker.com/list/B7Lrxr), click 'Choose a Video Card', Select 'GTX 1070' as the 'CHIPSET', and make sure 'Enable Compatibility filter' is checked. All GTX 1070s listed there are compatible.

zpendam What is the precise manufacturer and model of your GTX 1070? Is this a founders card, or a AIB partner card based on the founders (reference) design? Does your GTX 1070 only have a single 8 pin PCIe socket, or two 8 pin PCIe sockets?
Its MSI GeForce GTX 1070 8GB DDR5 - Armor 8G OC or ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Mini ZT-P10700G-10M.
So how much watt is the TDP difference between 1 pin powered and 2 powered pin? Is these extra power pin are only used to power the fan?
So as long as i stick to 1 power pin model it is safe right?
