A 550w would power that set up with ease. 750w is beyond overkill unless it's the same price as the 650

Your willing to buy a top end CPU and graphics. Buy an equivalent quality power supply. Gold, Corsair, Seasonic or other 9+ scored reviewed from Jonnyguru. 650w is fine. Corsair that would be RM, HX or AX. I think some versions of the TX were gold

In 99.8% of instances, if ya know ya GFX card Series, make and model) , you know what's needed to drive it ... some models can easily add 100 watts over a reference card. For most 1070s, a 500 watter will do just fine. That being said, most of the time a 650 will cost the same as a 500.

Be aware that Corsair doesn't make a single PSU, they are OEM'd from various suppliers. If there's a "C" in the model name, think "Crappry PSU". yes, the new ones are better but still crappy... see TPU review cons. The TX V2 was good PSU, but if you wanted to go for best overclocks, then a HX, AX was the way to go ... The RMi and RNx series is reviewed well tho pricey for what you get. See who makes what here:

If budget is an issue the Seasonic S12 / M12 520 / 620 is a great option and I hgave found those recently as low as $35. Superflow and EVGA G2/ P2 are very good and a B2 750 can often be found less than competitors 600 watters. Picking PSUs by brand name is a fool's errant because like most msellers, they sell products to meet various market niches. If it has to be 1 of the 3, not knowing which models are available, I'd have to go with the RM ... RMi or RMx version if available.

If it was me i would choosing between the 650 and 750 for your setup i would go with the 650 and try to get a gold standard. If you plan on upgrading your computer in the future (more components of any kind) i would go with the 750. And while the CS and the CX models are not as high quality they will still have no problem running your setup
