[SOLVED] Can this build handle an RTX 2080?

[R1 owner]

Hello, dear tech enthusiasts,

I have an older secondary pc case that had R9 280 in it and the GPU died a few months ago.
Now I want to stick my RTX 2080 into this case because I'm upgrading to 3090 on my new build.

Also, I might get my hands on a Ryzen 5 3600 to kinda cope with the bottlenecking from RTX 2080. But if necessary.

I'm really wondering the issue if everything will be able to work safely. (PSU wise mostly)

Perfectly fine. I’m running a 3700x (PBO on) with a RTX3080 on a Seasonic Focus Platinum 650w with 0 issues. The highest I saw the current draw at the wall was 546w. I previously had a 2080S.

What resolution are your monitors and when gaming do you only game on one? I would try the R5 1600 before considering an upgrade.

I was gaming on a single monitor, relatively old piece as well) @1080p with r9 280, but with RTX 2080 I don't really know, gotta try it with R5 1600 first to see.

The 2080 is probably over the top but it’s a massive upgrade over a 280 and you already have it. I’d just try it.
