Question do i have enough watts

[nighty_]

is a gamemax 600w 80+ bronze enough for a ryzen 7 3700x (stock no oc) and a RTX 3080 MSI Suprim X or should i get an EVGA 850w bronze

 

[sizzling]

If it was a high quality 650w it would be ok but a lower quality 600w, big no. Quality is very important especially for a 3080, I don’t think EVGA have a bronze psu I would use with a 3080. An EVGA G2 750w or 850w would be a good choice. Don’t cheap out on a psu for a 3080.

Edit: That Gamemax is closer to a low quality 500w than a 600w even though it has a 600w sticker. It’s only 40A across it 2 12v rails.

EVGA 850 B5, 80 Plus BRONZE 850W is that good for the 3080?

No, tier C https://forums.tomshardware.com/threads/psu-tier-list-psucultists.3624094/

The 3080 is notorious stressful for a psu, there is more than wattage that is important. A high quality psu is also an investment in the safety and long life of the 3080 and the rest of the system. Another good option is the Corsair RMx 750w/850w

That'd be the best one out of the ones you have mentioned. For best recommendations I need to know where you are buying from (like a local online store would be necessary).

If you can't get this one the NZXT C is also a solid option.
