What you have is the worst PSU offered by EVGA, both the build quality wise and wattage wise (it's the lowest wattage PSU EVGA offers). If there aren't any other PSUs available, i'd use it in an office PC which doesn't have dedicated GPU in it and where PSU never sees any high loads,

For a gaming rig and especially with K-series CPU and GTX 1070 Ti which is 180W GPU, i'd be comfortable using any Seasonic PSU in 600W range since they have solid build quality and plenty of wattage for CPU/GPU OC. E.g M12II-620 EVO, G-650, Focus+ 650 or PRIME 650 80+ Titanium,

M12II EVO and G series PSUs come with 5 years of OEM warranty. (My Haswell build is also powered by M12II EVO series PSU.)
Focus+ is the newest PSU line from Seasonic and it comes with 10 years of OEM warranty.
While PRIME 650 80+ Titanium is the best 650W PSU money can buy at current date.
With Seasonic PRIME 80+ Titanium series, you'll get the highest efficiency (94%), tightest voltage regulation (0.5%), longest hold-up time (30ms), lowest ripple noise (20mV) and longest warranty (12 years) there is. Fully modular cables and toggle-able Premium Hybrid fan control too.

My Skylake build is also powered by PRIME 650 80+ Titanium PSU (full specs with pics in my sig).
Oh, all fully-modular Seasonic PSUs are also compatible with CableMod SE-series custom sleeved power cables.
To match my Skylake's black & red theme and Haswell's black & blue theme, i have replaced the stock black power cables with CableMod SE-series custom sleeved power cables,
