Brand New Build, Not Sure on the PSU...

After spending about a year with my current build, (I'll post it below), and being more or less dissatisfied, I have started to purchase brand new hardware, and plan on getting  a GTX 1070 (if they're ever in stock again).  My main curiosity is if my current PSU will support my new hardware.  I've used multiple PSU calculators, but I just thought I'd ask for some of your opinions.

         OLD                             NEW
CPU: FX-8350                       i7 6700

GPU: MSI R9 280                 EVGA 1070
MB:   MSI Gaming 970         ASUS Sabertooth Z170
PSU: EVGA 650W G1 Gold    ?????????
 

The other hardware that I have in the PC includes a blu-ray drive, 4 case fans, a CPU water cooler, an SSD, and a HDD.

I was able to get the 6700 for $270.  It was actually the purchase that started the rebuild lol
