PSU recommandtions

[HopelessGPU]

Hello everyone, I am currently updating my part list for a pc I'm building. I wanted to know if this EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G5 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply would be good for my specific needs. I've heard that supposedly you should get a PSU that is a bit higher than your needs. Would greatly appreciate the information and feedback for my pc build.

 

Here's the pc part list.

 

 CPU: Intel Core i7-12700F 2.1 GHz 12-Core Processor  (Purchased For $0.00) 
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 82.5 CFM CPU Cooler  ($109.95 @ Amazon) 
Motherboard: Gigabyte B660 GAMING X AX DDR4 ATX LGA1700 Motherboard  ($349.00 @ Amazon) 
Memory: TEAMGROUP T-Force Vulcan Z 32 GB (2 x 16 GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 Memory  ($59.99 @ Amazon) 
Storage: Samsung 980 Pro 2 TB M.2-2280 PCIe 4.0 X4 NVME Solid State Drive  ($139.00 @ Amazon) 
Video Card: EVGA FTW3 ULTRA GAMING LHR GeForce RTX 3080 10GB LHR 10 GB Video Card  ($999.99 @ Amazon) 
Case: Phanteks Eclipse P600S ATX Mid Tower Case  (Purchased For $0.00) 
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G5 850 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply  ($172.33 @ Amazon) 
Total: $1840.26

 

I plan to add more things to this PC in the future and upgrade it which is one of the reasons for it being a 850w, but for now this will be what I'll be building and sorry for the confusion of my original post. I didn't mean to come across as arrogant, I also have realized that I need to be more specific. I'm just not that great at writing my thoughts out cause I have ADHD so I tend to make straight to the point posts.

Misunderstood, not specific, and to blunt.

Stubbornness and lack of want for criticism is the most common first build downfall. You should specify either way for second opinion on other people.

 

But to answer you, its pretty much a very well built fully modular PSU with a nice backing of EVGA very prosumer warranty clauses. But for the price? Its debatable in NA but we wouldnt know without also knowing region of purchase.

I'm not really being stubborn or afraid of criticism, I just wanted to know whether or not this was a decent PSU. The reason for not stating my power watt usage is because I already know what I need. But if you want I can give you my pc part list to see if you can improve it or find any errors. Cause the estimated power usage is 624w but the thing is I plan to add more fans and get a second monitor in the future which isn't included in the list cause I have it in a separate one. But I see your point tho.

It's a PSU with outdated internal design that struggles with recent GPUs. Not a unit a would recommand.

What CPU and GPU does it have to power?

Okay then cause I wanted a decent PSU that would last me a long time and that would be perfect for future upgrades down the line.
