So, i recently bought an rtx 3080 and I am wondering if my old psu (Thermaltake Toughpower W0117 85% efficiency) could run my gpu with out any problems or if maybe i need to buy a new one. I've been using it for two years with my rtx 2060 and it's been performing great and without any problems.

More specifficaly my psu is:

Almost 14 years old. You have to replace it anyway.

I am planning to replace it on christmas, but could it run the 3080 or is it just gonna fry my whole system (haven't test ed it)?

As @--SID-- succinctly put, you need a new PSU now.

yup you are now in the market for a new psu.

don't even try. that psu was not very good when it was new. all these years later it is only asking for trouble.

we can help pick a good unit for you if you wish. just need a budget and where you like to buy from. lots of good sales out there, especially in the US.
