This is a fairly vague question as there are unknown factors like my CPU in the upcoming build but I always get pretty concerned or anxious regarding my PSU being enough.
I plan to have either a Zen 3 chip or Rocket Lake (top of the line 4900 or i9) and a 3080 like everyone and their mother.
I've seen lots of people recommending a 750W PSU like Nvidia has. I've also seen people saying that you should get 1000W to be safe if you want to overclock at all. Would I be safe with 850W? Is it worth it to spring for the extra power?
I understand this is highly speculative given the unknown specs of future CPU's I just wanted to get some thoughts from those of you who have more knowledge than I do. I'm probably needlessly concerned or paranoid about it anyway!
