[Yanxi]

I want to buy a rtx founders edition 3080 but I'm unsure if I have enough power supply
Here's what parts I have

1. gigabyte 1060 6gb mini
2. DDR4 3600MHZ (2 x 16 gigs of ram)
3. corsair TX-M Series 650 Watt 80 Plus Gold Certified PSU
4. AMD Ryzen 7 3700x
5. Gigabyte X570 Aorus ELITE ATX motherboard
6. corsair ICUE 220T RGB Mid Tower Windowed PC gaming case
7. corsair Hydro 115i RGB Platinum

A 750 watt psu is recommended for that particular psu because it is rated for 300 watt usage. No one can really tell you if you have enough power with your psu. If you didn't overclock it you would probably be ok, but why take a chance of ruining your computer?

The 750w NVidia recommendation is based on using a 10900k. I’m currently running a Gigabyte 3080 Gaming OC and 3700x with a Seasonic Prime Ultra Platinum 650w with zero issues. Under stress testing the peak I have detected at the wall is 546w. However I know people do have issues with 750 or 850w PSU’s on RTX cards. From what I read it’s not an issue with the wattage but the transient response performance of the psu but I’m no expert for PSU’s.

You dont need to change the power supply with your CPU.

The recommended PSU is 750W. Your power supply should be enough if you do not overclock your GPU and CPU.
