I've changed my setup from i5-4670k@4.5GHz(slightly raised Vcore only) to X299 Micro + i7-7820X, cooled by AIO Fractal Celsius S36. GPU is RTX 2070 Super, 2 SSDs and 2 HDDs, sometimes USB HDD. Now I have Thermaltake Smart SE 630W(it's rather not 80+ version) and I'm afraid that it'll have problems delivering power, so... What will be cheapest way to upgrade? I live in Poland, budget isn't specified(but as cheap as possible), but I want something at least acceptable. CPU rather won't be overclocked, maybe slightly(I don't like, very much, raising voltage more than 0.1V), GPU definitely not(more likely undervoltage/underclocking for mining). I don't know where should I look at tier list - A, B, single rail, multi rail, switching... Problem is that wattage calculators shows 450-650w of power consumption, and it makes this even more confusing.

EVGA X299 Micro, i7-7820X, 16GB GoodRAM IRDM X, PNY RTX 2070 Super, 1x Adata S70 Blade 512GB, 1x MX500 1TB, 1x BX200 480GB, Thermaltake Smart SE 630W, Phanteks Enthoo Pro

your CPU is ~200W
Your GPU is ~220W

The rest of the stuff you mention is way under 100W.

 

So, at peak draw, hitting everything as hard as it goes?  I don't see your PSU needing to push more than 550 (absolute peak)

 

You should be absolutely fine.

Problem is that my current psu, in tier list, is in section D... That's why I'm afraid that it won't handle this. Weird thing is that despite X299 this mobo has 1 8pin cpu power connector, what's kinda weird but also suggests, that it won't draw as much power as standard atx form factor boards.

well wattage wise its fine, but its a group regulated units, ideally you wouldnt be powering much at all with such a unit.
