Depends which one. Wattage is fine is the quality of the PSU is good. Ratings aren't everything.

 

Which PSU are you looking at specifically?

PC Specs - AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D - MSI B550M Mortar - 32GB Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR4-3600 @ CL16 - ASRock RX7800XT - 660p 1TBGB & Crucial P5 1TB - Fractal Define Mini C - CM V750v2 - Windows 11 Pro

Is a 650w gold good enough for a rtx 2080?? or shall I get more.

A mainstream system with a RTX 2080 can work out with a 550W unit, nothing wrong with picking a 650W... but the most important thing is list what model in specific rather than wattage alone since the "quality" of the unit is often more important than wattage alone.

Iv bought the ssd, hdd and ram. why?

If it was me I would wait for X570 or get a higher end X470 and a cheaper cooler. Seems a bit unbalanced to spend more on the cooler than the board imo. The B450 Gaming Pro Carbon is a decent board but I would take something like an ASRock X470 Taichi with a £50 cooler any day.
