Regarding adequate power requirements, yes, a 600W power supply will easily cover your setup (even with an overclocked GPU).
The EVGA GTX 1070 SC uses around 150W under normal gaming conditions and up to about 180W when fully stressed, according to reviews from techpowerup and guru3d.
With a locked i7-7700 drawing roughly 65W and the rest of your components adding less than 100W, the entire system won’t exceed around 400W.
Therefore, a 600W PSU should be sufficient.
The performance, efficiency, and dependability of your existing 600W PSU remain separate considerations.

Regarding adequate power and amperage, yes, a 600W power supply will easily cover your setup (even with an overclocked GPU).

So a 600W PSU should be sufficient.

Regarding enough power and amps, yes, a 600W PSU will definitely cover your setup (even with an overclocked GPU).
The EVGA GTX 1070 SC uses around 150W under normal gaming conditions and up to about 180W when fully stressed, according to tests by techpowerup and guru3d.
With a locked i7-7700 (~65W) plus the rest of your parts (well under ~100W), your system won’t exceed roughly 400W total.
So a 600W PSU should work fine.
The performance, efficiency, and reliability of your existing 600W unit are another story.
