Currently using the "Cooler Master GX 750W 80 Bronze" PSU and I am planning to get the RTX 3080. Since the recommended PSU is 750W stated by Nvidia, will this PSU be OK? Nothing's going to meltdown or cause any major voltage ripple?

Current setup :-
Intel Core i7 9700K @ 5.0GHz CPU
Cooler Master MasterAir MA620P CPU Heatsink
2x16GB (32GB) DDR4 Dual Channel @ 3200MHz RAM
1x Optical Drive
4x 7.2k RPM SATA HDDs
3x Casing fans

Thanks!

I would absolutely not use this. It wasn't the worst budget PSU when it was new, but it was middling. But an ancient, group-regulated PSU combined with a new 80 suffix GPU? Not a chance. I don't think I would have been willing to pair this new with a high-end GPU...

It's a Tier-D PSU on the power supply tier list housed here for good reasons.
