Are you going to buy that PSU or do you already have it? If you are going to buy it I'd look for a better model. If you have it already you are probably ok, but I wouldn't OC anything or run a demanding CPU.

if you didnt have the i7 6950x or a 7700k high overclocked you will be ok

500 watts will be enough as long as the PSU is high quality. The only 80+ White EVGA 500w I know about is close to crap quality. I recommend a higher quality PSU if you haven't already bought, or if you already have it i suggest upgrading if you can afford.

It depends on what the rest of the system is. I have an I5 4670 with an MSI GTX 1070 and the entire system draws 400w max. If you are buying a new PSU, I would opt for a larger one to be safe for a few years.

I doubt it draws 400W. I run an i7 3770K and a 7950. Calculated load is around 325, and your 1070 uses less than that. Unless you've OC'd your CPU and GPU it should be much closer to 300W.
