You likely won't end up using much more than 400 watts while gaming 

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 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

should be fine. but i'd replace that psu when you upgrade your gpu. The G3 is pretty meh, like most EVGA's units

I Use my knowledge as business owner and self taught technician aswell as an AI to help people. AI might be controversial but it actually works pretty well 90% of the time.

Funny that, I just sent in my G2 and they sent me back a G3 as a replacement. Slightly disappointed but the difference is rather minimal, still more than enough for my i7 and Titan. I was only worried about potential poor performance due to the beta platform but my OC is still rocking. So I would say for this rig it's gonna handle these parts quite fine no replacement needed.
