I ever watch a guy using 450w psu paired with 1080 Ti and i7-8700k, and the pc was fine. But the pc forced to shut down when they try to decrease the volt. So, would it be fine too if we pair the 2080 Ti with 500w psu or 550w psu?

Nvidia recommends 650W. In any case why would you spend over a grand on a GPU to cheap out on the PSU and risk frying it? Get a solid 750W G3 or RMX PSU for about £100 and be done with it

I can see everyone is recommending the 80+ Gold, but the number of watt is vary between 650 to 850. Should I be aware for the efficiency or the number of watt? I mean, the all thing that I know is 80+ efficiency is only about how much you save for electricity bill

neither actually , what is important is the quality and the performance of these PSU's , all the PSU's that has been reccomended to you are of good quality and performance
I would choose in that order and 650w is more than enough
Corsair RMx - EVGA G3 - Seasonic GX- Corsair TXM

Generally a PSU for a 2080Ti should be around gold efficiency from a good brand at or over 650W. A EVGA G2/3, Corsair RMX or anything from seasonic would be fine.
