A good brand PSU 650- watts or over - I recommend 750 watts.

The PSU you need will depend on two things:

1. Wattage needs

a) nVidia says you need
https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce/products/10series/geforce-gtx-1070/

Thermal and Power Specs:
94 = Maximum GPU Temperature (in C)
150 W = Graphics Card Power (W)
500 W = Recommended System Power (W)4
8-Pin = Supplementary Power Connectors

For an AIB card, bump that by 50 watts and add a 2nd cable connector

b) Guru3D's recommendations are based upon power draw "at the wll"

Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation:

GeForce GTX 1070 / 1080 - On your average system the card requires you to have a 500 Watts power supply unit.
GeForce GTX 1070 / 1080 SLI - On your average system the cards require you to have a 750 Watts power supply unit.

If you are going to overclock your GPU or processor, then we do recommend you purchase something with some more stamina. And remember, a PSU is the most efficient at 50% load. So if you use 400 Watts on average (SLI), the most energy friendly powersupply would be an 800 Watt model.

2. Overclocking goals

Moderate Overclocking - EVGA 750 (for potential 2nd 1070 in SL)
High Overclocking - EVGA G2 750
Extreme Overclocking - Seasonic 750 Snow Edition 750
