sizzling is right. Need to know make and model to be sure.
With that said, your CPU is an 84w part, your other components will prob draw only 100-120w and the 1070 will draw about 150w at full pelt, unless you overclock. So your talking about 350-400w max.
Sizzling is saying that if it's a poor quality unit (PSU) then it's prob not providing the power it's rated for, and if it's an old PSU it will lose some of it's efficiency and may cause issues.
An additional point though, the 1070 is a bit too powerful for your CPU. The CPU will bottleneck a little I suspect. What res are you gaming on? 1080p @60hz? If so, save some money, get a GTX1060 or an RX580 and get an extra 8gbs of memory. That will serve you better than the 1070, which won't reach it's full potential with the low-ish clocks of the I5 4460. Just a thought to consider.
If you're going to get a high end GPU like the 1070, then you want to have a decent PSU. I wouldn't want to be risking expensive parts with a PSU thats gonna crap out.

there should be a label on the side. Take a pic and post it, or relay all the details on the label, its the brand and model thats most important. What you've said is just generic basic info, which all PSU's fall under.

it seems like a decent enough one. I can't find a review on it though. It has 47 amps on the 12v rail so should be fine. It's a couple of years old, but it looks clean, and as long as you haven't been abusing it, you should be fine. You might want to check you have enough 6pin/8pin connectors for the card though. You prob need 2 6pin, but might be 8 pin. check the specs/requirements of the card you buy first.
