[joachim.98]

Hey i just bought a Asus GTX 1080 and was wondering if i needed a bigger PSU i have a Corsair 500W PSU is that enough??

Well, from the looks of it, yes you will need at least a 550W unit or a little more for headroom. What are the rest of your specs?

Not all 500w psu’s are equal, what exact model? What is the rest of the pc spec?

550WattS PSU better then 500Watts psu.It contain 2*6 pins and 8*2 pins for GPU...
THANKS FOR QUESTIONING

Even a 450w unit would usually be fine for a GTX 1080 system. Though it depends on the rest of your specs. Also, you should look at quality over wattage, what exact PSU is it? Do you already have it? What is your budget and location?
