Question Is this power supply enough?

[hahaxdxd]

Hello, I have a chieftec smart 500w ( the box says 350 - 700w ) power supply, and i was wondering if its enough to run or handle a gtx 1070 with a i7 7700, and 12gb ram?

Edit: the model is a gps-600a8

 

[hahaxdxd]

forgot to mention its a strix 1070 8gb, if that changes anything

No, it's bad. Bad quality, bad voltage regulation, bad protections and so on.

Depends on what's available at your location. That's why I asked

I have a gtx 1080 and the build my pc program i used said 650 watt gives a 10% over needed supply to allow for suddenly demand under load.
I am curious about why you have 12 ram do you have a 8gb stick of ram and a 4gb stick.
If you do then this is wrong.
Ram should be even pairs and doubled up if you add , ram should be installed as 8,16,32,64,
Also never mix the MZH rating because the lower rate will pull down the efficiency of the higher one

Impossible. It always comes in pairs so it's 2 or 4. What's the brand and model of the motherboard?
