I currently have a core i7 7700k paired with 16gb ram. I bought a rtx 2080 recently but not sure if this pairs well with my 650w PSU. I am still relatively new to pc building so would appreciate anyone's advice on this matter. Am i alright sticking with 650w or should i upgrade to 750w??

Which 650W PSU do you currently have?

650W is more than enough for that system, no need for 750W.

CPU: Intel i7 6700k  | Motherboard: Gigabyte Z170x Gaming 5 | RAM: 2x16GB 3000MHz Corsair Vengeance LPX | GPU: Gigabyte Aorus GTX 1080ti | PSU: Corsair RM750x (2018) | Case: BeQuiet SilentBase 800 | Cooler: Arctic Freezer 34 eSports | SSD: Samsung 970 Evo 500GB + Samsung 840 500GB + Crucial MX500 2TB | Monitor: Acer Predator XB271HU + Samsung BX2450

Monitors have their own power supplies, either built in to the panel or an external brick somewhere along the power cable that plugs in to the wall (like a laptop charger). They don't draw any power from your computer PSU.

 

The Corsair CX650M will be fine.
