What kind of power supply is best for this old build?
there is another build available (6600K + 1070 FE). I plan to use the 500W with that one. I'm retiring the EVGA 850 since it's been in service for eight years.
The PSU tier list offers general guidance. Useful suggestions, though not the definitive source. Opinions here are just vague points. I wouldn't rely on personal feelings or specific room conditions when considering noise levels.

Your budget will likely limit your choice to lower-end models, forcing trade-offs between noise and reliability.
I recently purchased a SeaSonic G12 for an older 3750K system and was impressed by its durability. I anticipated less performance at that price but found it to be a solid semi-modular unit. It’s fairly quiet, though not completely silent. If I had unlimited funds, I wouldn’t have bought it. A fully silent unit would be ideal, but that level of silence comes with a higher cost.
This page details the specifications of the PSU product from Evga.
This PSU is also suitable; it offers solid performance and ample capacity, lasting more than ten years.
