It’s hard to know without knowing what else is in the machine.  A 65w cpu can draw 300w if it’s overclocked hard enough. In your position my move would be to plug all my hardware into an app with a wattage estimator and find out what my total draw was.  PcPartPicker has one, though it’s kinda famously not very good.  My move is to assume it can’t be off by more than about 20% so I add 20% to whatever the result it round up to the nearest 50w, and consider that a minimum.  If anything is being overclocked even more would be needed.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

I have ryzen 7 3700x and pcPartPicker says 429W so.

And also does this power supply have  1x8pin and 1x6pin connections for the 2080 super.

TLDNR: you should be fine.  I think.  If you overclock the snot out of stuff all bets are off though.  

 

Well the 3700x normally isn’t overclocked often, So assuming you don’t overclock it or the Nvidia card, by at least the rule of thumb I use it could likely even go lower then.  Sounds like you’re fine.  As to the PSU I’m not a PSU expert though there are some around.  I would be kind of surprised if it didn’t.  Poking at the silverstone site, https://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=778&area=en#undefined2 Assuming that’s the PSU you have in mind what I’m seeing is it’s a single bar PSU with 636v available at 12v and it seems to have 2 pcie cables that each have 2 6/8 pcie power ports on them. 
 

More googling about, Peak momentary power draw for non overclocked 3700x appears to be ~90w which I assume is built into the wattage calculator.  If it’s not there’s still room though.  It’s only a 25w difference.

As for overclocking the 2080s I have no idea.  Should be a bit of room.  Not sure how much.
