Preparing for the future

[Jonnyd1000]

Hello so I plan on building a new gaming pc whenever I can actually get parts. I plan on mining on this computer and want to "future proof" my psu so that in the when I pick up a second card to go into my build I will have a good enough psi wattage. Here is my build that I plan on building.

Evolve X                                                                     

 

MSI B550-A PRO                                                           

 

Ryzen 5800x cpu                                                            

 

Asus tuff 3080                                                 

 

Ram from old pc 32gb 3000Mhz                                            

 

NZXT Kraken x73 RGB 360mm                                     

 

NZXT AER triple fan starter kit + 1 fan 120mm 

 

NZXT C850 power supply       

 

There is my build my question is if I where to add a 3060ti to my build would the psu have enough watts to run everything?? and if it could what would I do when it comes down to plugging it in. the 3080 has two pcie 8 pins and the 3060ti has the same two 8pins to plug in but the psu only has 3 slots and 3 cables that come with it. I have had a hard time finding any psu that come with 4 pcie slots on psu. 

Thank you for the help in advance

Why would you plug a 3060ti in, mining?

All and all,

 

the evolve x, a dope case

 

5800X, a good CPU, maybe go for the 5900x if you can use it 50% more cores

 

rtx 3080, ram.  Fans , psu check the reviews and stuff

the cooler, it’s awesome

yes I would be using it to mine with. I plan on doing that in the future but before I buy the psu I would want to make it so I would not have to buy a new one in the future. is the psu enough to mine with the both graphics cards fully overclocked. and what would I do with the psu because I would only have 3 8 pin pcie cables and ports and I can't seem to find psu with 4 8 pin pcie slots and cords
