I use 2 ssds and 1 hdd

so here is my question: I want to upgrade to the rtx 3080 but idk if my 700 watt power supply will be enough the handle it. Do I have to upgrade my psu or can I keep using my current psu?

not sure if this is a good PSU, but you should pair a high end rig with a high end PSU

 

as for your question, 700W is enough

-sigh- feeling like I'm being too negative lately

There's been a few B series PSUs from Cooler Master. None have been any good. Was there even a 80+ Bronze rated B700?

Definitely wouldn't use it with an RTX3080.

 

Do you have the exact model of the PSU? Should be like RS-700-A_____? Or just a photo of the label on the PSU
