No.

 

Most 1070s recommend a 600W for a PC with one. For 2 I'd get a 750W minimum. 

Different PCPartPickers for different countries:

UK-----Italy----Canada-----Spain-----Germany-----Austrailia-----New Zealand-----'Murica-----France-----India

Well, with an i7, GTX 1080, Full tower and flashy lights, it can obviously only be for one thing:

Solitaire.

For two graphics cards if they require dedicated power I wouldn't recommend running them off a 500W. Idle at the desktop you'd probably be fine but as soon as you put them under load there'd be a voltage draw spike. It'd exceed the PSU output rating and the system would shutdown.

Get the biggest watt PSU you can afford to get and remember give yourself some headroom. Your PC parts also require power as well. DONT borderline it or you will regret it.

I would go with at least a gold plus or higher as you want to protect it, and fully modular for a cleaner look, and better airflow. Also if you wanted too you could used colored cables for a sweet looking design.
