I currently have a Thermaltake Smart series 600 watt power supply inside of an AeroCool P7-C0 2x Side Tempered Glass RGB Gaming Case. I would like to upgrade to an 850w or higher but I need to know what would fit and would work with my current setup. If you need to know what is in my PC let me know and I will provide the details.
 
Solution
I run a:
Intel Core i7-9700K
ASRock Z390 PHANTOM GAMING 4-IB w/ WiFi Motherboard
GIGABYTE Windforce RTX 2070 - 8GB GDDR6
500GB Western Digital Blue SSD
1TB 7200RPM Western Digital Blue Hard Drive
iBUYPOWER 120mm RGB Liquid Cooling System (Id like to change to a corsair one)
16GB [8GB x 2] DDR4-3200MHz ADATA XPG SPECTRIX D41 RGB (Would also like to switch to corsair)

2070 - ~220W overclocked to max
9700K - ~100W overclocked to max
Everything else - ~30W (assuming this is all in a gaming load)
350W would be your overclocked power consumption while gaming. Or at least close to that (likely less).
What are you trying to achieve with an "850W or higher" PSU? Do you have hardware that requires such? If not, it's probably a waste of money.

The Smart series lineup isn't great, very much a budget orientated platform.... but for most users, a quality 450-550W is more than sufficient.
