Hi, today I'm upgrading to a 6950XT + R7 5800X system, and my current PSU is a 700W be quiet! Pure Power 11 80 Plus Gold, and wanted to make sure that it'll be enough? 

Thank you!

It's not about the wattage only. Also the topology and the quality is important and in that case a Pure Power 11 is not sufficient because of the ACRF topology of the PSU. With that kind of high-end hardware and a power hog of a 6950XT that can spike up to 600w (depending on the model), you want nothing but a PSU with LLC platform and at least 850w. All listed in Tier A of this.

I'm getting mixed answers... worst case scenario, what happens if my PSU doesn't deliver enough power? Will it damage my components? Is it OK if I try installing my new components with that PSU and see how it goes?

psu will shutdown in the worst case. It does nopt hurt anyone to twest if it works normally ( like running a gpu benchmark while also running a cpu benchmark)

QUOTE ME  FOR ANSWER.

Tier lists for building a PC.

 

Motherboard tier list. Tier A for overclocking 5950x. Tier B for overclocking 5900x, Tier C for overclocking 5800X. Tier D for overclocking 5600X. Tier F for 4/6 core Cpus at stock. Tier E avoid.

(Also case airflow matter or if you are using Downcraft air cooler)

Spoiler

 

Gpu tier list. Rtx 3000 and RX 6000 not included since not so many reviews. Tier S for Water cooling. Tier A and B for overcloking. Tier C stock and Tier D avoid.

( You can overclock Tier C just fine, but it can get very loud, that is why it is not recommended for overclocking, same with tier D)

Spoiler

 

Psu tier List. Tier A for Rtx 3000, Vega and RX 6000. Tier B For anything else. Tier C cheap/IGPU. Tier D and E avoid.

(RTX 3000/ RX 6000 Might run just fine with higher wattage tier B unit, Rtx 3070 runs fine with tier B units)

Spoiler

 

Cpu cooler tier list. Tier 1&2 for power hungry Cpus with Overclock. Tier 3&4 for overclocking Ryzen 3,5,7 or lower power Intel Cpus. Tier 5 for overclocking low end Cpus or 4/6 core Ryzen. Tier 6&7 for stock. Tier 8&9 Ryzen stock cooler performance. Do not waste your money!

Spoiler

 

Storage tier List. Tier A for Moving files/  OS. Tier B for OS/Games. Tier C for games. Tier D budget Pcs. Tier E if on sale not the worst but not good.

(With a grain of salt, I use tier C for OS myself)

Spoiler

 

Case Tier List. Work In Progress. Most Phanteks airflow series cases already done!

Ask me anything :)

If anyone’s interested, 700W are indeed more than enough. No issues so far.
