Solution
for the power requirement of RX 580, you can have the performance of GTX 1070 
the FreeSync/G-Sync is not needed when you have a hardware that can push enough FPS.
Since you have an i7, there should be no problem with FPS drops. With GTX 1070, games will run well above 60FPS.
The closest thing that AMD have is RX Vega, which uses more power than your PSU can do.
You should look for a card with a single PCIe power connector up to 180w TDP. since your PSU have only 6pin connector and GTX 1070 (and some 1060) use 8pin, you can use this adapter https://www.amazon.com/StarTech-Express-Power-Adapter-PCIEX68ADAP/dp/B001TK3TJY
your PSU is still good to carry it.

1050Ti is your only option in that regard, but it is not much of an upgrade. On the other hand, GTX 1060 6GB is a significant upgrade, but needs 120W. Given your PSU is Seasonic, it should handle even 1060 without issues provided your CPU is not heavily OC'ed.

Your PSU should have PCIE 6+2 pin cable.
If you can find it, you can install GTX 1060 into your pc.

what is the exact model of your PSU ?
some of the 400w PSUs can do even GTX 1070.
the total system power consumption while gaming on i7 + GTX 1070 (everything non overclocked) is under 250w.
If this is your PSU, it can definitely handle even GTX 1080.

Though it should be in a well ventilated case as it is fanless.

Then you PSU has 6pin PCIE power connector.
You can still use GTX 1060 with it (select models). Non-oc GTX 1060 models have 6pin connector.
