Some tenth gen cards will overclock them selves to some extent based on conditions with Nvidia GPU Boost 3.

You are likely closer to a 250w max, as long as it's a non k CPU, not accounting for draw spikes with out the GPU. Could you run that model PSU like that gaming for 5 years? Sure, maybe. Would I trust that particular model to do that with my system? No.
