Do I need to upgrade my 650w power supply to run a 3080?

Parts list: 

Cpu: Ryzen 5 2600

Gpu: GTX 1660

Psu: Corsair cx650m

Ram: 16GB 3200mhz

Motherboard: Gigabyte B450 Aorus M

 

I want to upgrade my cpu to a ryzen 7 2700 and I want to get a rtx 3080. I used pc part picker to see how much wattage the new parts would eat up and in total it said it'll use 529w. Would I be fine using my power supply or should I upgrade to a 750w psu?

I wouldn't upgrade to a 2700... Definitely go for a 3000 series chip.

 

Honestly, a 650 is enough. But.... what is your monitor resolution? A GTX 1660 to a 3080 is one hell of a jump. Maybe look more at the 3070 which is a more normal power draw card AND is faster than a 2080 ti........

As with every single thread about this, wait for benchmarks showing the actual power draw before deciding to upgrade your PSUs. All we got right now is speculation based on TGP

nice

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

I'll definitely check out the 3000 series cpu's and I know that a 3080 is huge jump but I think it's the one I want. Thank you for your response and I will make sure to keep the 3070 in mind.

I would recommend not upgrading to the 2700 if you already have a 2600. You aren't going to see that much of a performance improvement.

Secondary System: York

Intel Core i7-2600 (4C/8T), ASUS P8Z68-V/GEN3, 16GB GEIL Enhance Corsa DDR3 1600MHz, Zotac GeForce GTX 550 Ti 1GB, 240GB ADATA Ultimate SU650, Windows 10 Pro for Workstations

Wait for the benchmarks and tests so we will know how much power these things really pull.

 

I would however start planning and saving up for a new PSU just incase...

 

I wouldn't or recommend running a HIGH END GPU on a CXM personally...... So there is always that too... So I would recommend saving up anyway for a new PSU.

I agree with ProjectBox, no real difference there.

Either keep your CPU and spend that money on a PSU or go for a 3000 series CPU or wait and gor for a 4000 series when they come out
