I bought a Raidmax PSU and now I'm hearing that they're terrible. I got pic related for my PC with a GTX 1070 and i5 7600. Should I return it and buy something else?

Yes, get a seasonic g-series or some evga g2.

Stock power draw gtx1070: 150w
Processor power draw 65W

Got any other components that draw considerable power?

Got an evga g3 650W for my first build. Hows it compare to g2?

I'm computer stupid and haven't built a PC in 6 years. I just saw "minimum recommended PSU: 500W" on NewEgg and got something a bit more powerful for some headroom.

As you should.

I typically only buy PSUs with a gold rating or above though.

>>60337114
Buy EVGA G2/G3
If you can't afford it buy B2

Is that modular? I'd like fully modular because Mini ITX

Well, at load, your 1070 draws about 300, your CPU 75. That leaves you with reasonable headroom even with everything else.

If I were you, I'd keep it for the time being, but be on the lookout for a great deal on a quality PSU to replace it as cash permits. It doesn't have to be 80+ Gold or Platinum or whatever. You can find PSU's with 80 plus Platinum ratings from shitty OEMs that fail sooner than quality 80 plus Bronze units. Brands like Seasonic are known for their reliability.

If you want to replace it now on the cheap, the Corsair CXM 550 is a reasonable, though not spectacular unit with a rebate.

G2 and G3 are full modular, B2 is semi modular.

Seasonic Prime Titanium or GTFO
