A 600 or 700 watt unit is probably suffice. If it’s paired with very thirsty overclocked cpu with water cooling pump and lots of extras, then maybe 800 watts.
Yes you can put as many as 4x GTX 1070 cards on a 1000 watt PSU as long as you have enough cables
You wont have a ton of room left but you can if you want to
you probably wont get a cut and dry answer. it depends on your config and on the psu. even a psu rated for 1kw may not supply enough on any one of the rails. i didnt look up the specs on your psu so i have no idea
best you can do is run your config through some different psu calculators, or use a watt meter to determine your draw from the wall
PSU "calculators" should be avoided. There isn't one that's even remotely accurate. Please stop recommending them, guys.
Then when you're talking about mining, it's even more difficult to know. You just have to ask us. You can't use any kind of calculator for that. Even if we could find an accurate PSU calculator, you won't find a "mining" button on it.
For mining, you have to be careful. If it's 24/7 mining for several weeks or months, then make absolutely sure your mining power consumption is no more than 40 to 60% of the PSU's capacity. In the 70 percent range is mostly ok, but that's pushing it. After all, we're talking about a continuous power draw.
Mining on 4 x GTX 1070s is about the limit for a good quality-made 1000W PSU due to the 40-60% rule because we're looking at almost 650W for the cards alone. Which EVGA unit do you have?
Should be doable with a good 1000W PSU, 700W-800W GPUs, ~100W CPU, 50W-80W for HDDs, ~50W for the rest of the system, thats assuming max load, personally I would upgrade to a quality 1200W PSU at least or run only 3x GTX 1070s.
Wow. That's a very high-end PSU. Nice. You're all set.

It will never be 700-800W for mining on 2 GTX 1070s and 1 GTX 1060. At best, it'll be around 450W because it'll be roughly 160W per GTX 1070, and roughly 135W per GTX 1060. I'm using professional reviews that show the actual power consumption of just the video card. So 3 GTX 1070s will be around 480-500W total. When mining, the rest of the system isn't doing very much at all, so all you really have to add is maybe 50-100W. Therefore, he can have 3 GTX 1070s because his power consumption while mining won't be any more than around 600-650W at the most.
It also will not be 100W for the CPU while mining on just the video cards. The CPU won't be doing very much. It will be doing something, yes, but not enough to make it consume 100W!
50-80W for hard drives? First of all, he never said how many hard drives he will have in this mining rig. Second, a hard drive isn't going to pull much power if it's not doing anything. What work, if any, will his hard drives be doing while mining? A hard drive will only consume a small handful of watts while idling (around 5 or so), and as much as ~7-8W when it's working as hard as you can get it to work. So in order to have a hard drive setup that consumes 50-80W, you have to have about 10 hard drives!
So, he is absolutely 100% ready to go with the RM1000x.
You could fit 5 1070's on that with 20 percent to spare if you don't let the cards go over 150W each while mining. 6 if you run at rated power (don't do this for mining, it's hard on the psu.).
do anyone know how big psu do i need to power up 1 x 1060 and 2 x 1070 gpu or even 1 each of 1060 and 1070 gpu? will 550 psu ( XFX TS Series P1550SXXB9 550W ATX12V 2.2 & ESP12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Bronze Certified Active PFC Power Supply)? will this psu good enough for it or not?
Ugh. PSU calculators are worthless. Don't use them anymore. Please.
What did it give you "419W" for?
Y'know, you can relax because you said you have the RM1000x. Why are you still asking these questions? Are you hoping to use the RM1000x in some super high-end gaming PC?

i also got antec 650 earthwatt psu. i know this psu is recommended. i dont know if i will put it up or not with 2x 1070 and 1 x 1060.
