So...I'm building a new PC for gaming.I don't have the CPU and the VGA yet.I'm planning to buy an i5-7400 and a 1060 6GB or a GTX 1070.

My question is:Is my Coller Master B500 v2 enough for this config or I have to buy a better PSU?

Configuration:
MB:ASUS ROG B250G
CPU:I5-7400
VGA:GTX 1060 6GB or GTX 1070
RAM:HyperX Fury 8GB DDR4
Case:Cooler Master Silencio 352
Storage:Western Digital 1TB WD10EZEX
PSU:Cooler Master B500 ver.2

That's a pretty low quality PSU... even though 500W from a decent quality unit is enough for your build(the CM PSU outputs 38A on the 12V rail, that translates to 456W) it will be better to upgrade it since it's not great in terms of reliability.

I'd suggest going with a great quality 550W power supply.

Recommendations: Seasonic Focus PLUS series, EVGA SuperNOVA G3 series, Corsair TX/CX series.
