Is 850watt enough

[amirnosrk]

Hi I am wondering if a 850 gold psu is enough for a msi 3080 suprim x and a 5900x.

The wattage is fine.

 

If it's OK or not will depend on the exact PSU you plan on or have.

Yes, it will be enough but there is more to a PSU than just wattage.

Could you post some options that you have available to you?  If not, at least try to stick to major brands like EVGA, Corsair, Seasonic, etc. If it’s from a major brand and 80+ Gold, probably just fine.

What about a maingearz that is a flat grey with ketchup and mustard cables and no sign of any efficiency sticker?!

Are you asking because you need a power supply?

This one says "850W" and the color is "Gold", but I would say "no".

That’s funny. You should get one to test just to give it a fair shot.
