Solution
550W would be plenty... even a great quality 450W PSU will suffice.
Your rig will consume less than 200W in full load.

Solution
Well, a great quality 550W unit will be enough since the power consumption with a 1080ti will be around 350W in full load... Going with the CX650M will be a great choice since your're thinking to upgrade your GPU... it will give you more headroom.
