Hi ! I'm planning to upgrade my GPU from Gtx 1060 6 Gb into 1070 Ti. Can my PSU handle 1070 ti ? I'm planning to buy EVGA 1070 ti SC Gaming. Below is my rig list :

CPU : Ryzen 5 1400 @ 3.4 Ghz
GPU : Zotac GTX 1060 6 Gb mini
Motherboard : MSI B350M Gaming Pro
RAM : Gskill DDR4 RipjawsV PC21300 16GB (2x8GB)
SSD :Samsung SSD 860 EVO M.2 SATA 250GB
HDD : WDC 1TB SATA3 64MB
PSU : Seasonic M12II-520 Bronze Certified Evo Edition 520 watt (1 year old since I bought this)
OS : Windows 10 Pro

Can my PSU handle the EVGA 1070 ti SC gaming ? The listed minimum psu is 500 watt, but SC gaming draws 217 watt instead of 180 watt. So this makes me wonder if I should replace my PSU too. I'm sorry if this question has been answered before and thanks in advance !

 
Solution
220w for gpu
100w for cpu
100w for rest of the system.

At best (worst) you'd be hard pressed to max out everything totally to pull all @420w. Mostly, even the heaviest gaming will only pull @70% of total system power, so gaming expect draws of @300w or so.

Well within tolerances of a 480w Bronze unit.
