[SOLVED] PSU for RTX 3080?

[hadiahmed29]

Hi, i'm planning to buy the new RTX 3080 and it's minimum requirement for PSU is 750w at least i was wondering if you guys could help me out on which PSU will be suitable for it?

I'm going for Intel 10500 as CPU and RGB PC.

Thank you

Which RTX 3080 are you planning to buy. The FE cards will need a proprietary connector/adapter while the AIB cards should all be able to power off the PCIe connectors but their power draw will be higher than the 2000 series cards.

Mind you, mentioning the processor and RGB doesn't tell us anything about your system's power draw. Please include/list your proposed system specs like so:
CPU:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:

Thanks for the response sorry let me rephrase it.

I have shortlisted these as the specs:

Motherboard: Gigabyte Z490M Intel
CPU: Ryzen 3600 or Intel i5 10th Gen (Haven't decided which one)
GPU: AORUS GeForce RTX 3080 XTREME 10G
SSD: XPG Spectrix S240G RGB 256 GB
RAM: XPG SPECTRIX D60G 16GB DDR4 3200MHz RGB
The PSU i have shortlisted to be on the safer side is Cougar BXM850 850W 80 Plus Bronze Semi-Modular PSU but it would exceed my budget and but i don't want to risk anything if i'm spending that much on a PC.
Also i will install 4 RGB fans.

I would also recommend at least a quality 850w PSU. Gives you a little headroom. Newegg has the RM850x on sale for $144. but it is back ordered. That would be a great fully modular Gold certification model which is also one of the most silent ones available.
