Nope, your parts will consume about 300 watts

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

Sure go for it. Aren't you the one with the dell? Keep in mind you can't oc and a 3770k is probably going to overwhelm the stock cooler.

 

I would just do as I suggested and replace the system again with a new used one that has the specs you want as that will be cheaper.
