Question Seasonic GM 650 for RTX 3080

[halmahera]

So my current set up is:

• Intel Core i5 10600
• 2 x 8GB DDR4
• 1x 7200 rpm 3.5" HDD
• 1x M.2 SSD
• 5x 120mm fan
• Seasonic GM 650W

I am wonderi=ng whether my PSU will be strong enough if I buy RTX 3080 and add it to my system.
Yes I know Nvidia is suggesting 750W, but I believe that is their worst case scenario for "just in case"

Some online PSU calculator tool saying that my system will be around 590W consumption with RTX 3080
So yea I thought it will be fine. But how do you guys think?

FYI GM 650 is 8+ GOLD, and it is listed as Tier A in PSU forum

My thoughts that you should go with the specs they suggested that way you are safe!

Yeah....I would also suggest you go at least with the 750W PSU. It is probably possible to run it with very good 650W and be safe....but I don't know if I would risk a new +$700 card. the 750W PSU would give you piece of mind.

I managed to finally get an Asus TUF RTX 3080 OC édition.
I'm in the same boat, I have the same PSU and I would like to know should I plugged it or not. Im new here.. My systems specs are:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 not overclocked
CPU cooler : Coolermaster TX3 Hyper
Motherboard: Asus Prime B550 A
Ram: Hyper X 3200 MHz 16 GB (8x8)

Please let me know before I regret my decision.
