PSU wattage question

I’m wondering if my 750w PSU will be sufficient with my specs and the 3080ti I’ll be picking up later today. I’m running a 5600x, 3080ti, 240mm rgb AIO, 4 additional 120mm rgb fans. No mechanical drives or anything extra running.

Yes, that’ll be fine.

I decided to pick up an 850W Platinum. If my heat ever goes out I’ll just sit in front of the 3080Ti. Wow this throws some heat!

nice, the bigger they are the more economical as well

without doing all the research im pretty sure your 750w would have worked
but this is one of those cases bigger is almost always better
350 gpu
85 cpu
20 ram (~8+ per stick)
50-80 motherboard (onboard circuitry, mouse/keyboard, usb, etc)
fans are only 1.8 to maybe 2w each, joysticks etc add more but we could figure the higher 80w there still puts you at only 535 (with no hdd or optical drives), so minimum would be around the 700+ mark
850 is a good choice
