Does my power supply have enough power?

I just got a GTX 1080ti to upgrade my pc but I'm wondering if my PSU is good enough? I put it in and started it for a test run and its working, but as I was installing drivers I started to think if my 600w power supply might be pushing it. 

Is there a way I can check the power consumption/load on the power supply?

Just needing some other opinions and or suggestions

 

My PC components:

CPU: Ryzen 5 3600

CPU cooler: EVGA AIO CLC 280

GPU: Aorus GTX 1080ti

Ram: 4x8gb 3200mhz silicon power

SSD: 250gb A2000 NVMe

HDD: 2tb 7200rpm 3.5

Motherboard: Asus Prime B550m K

PSU: be quiet! 600W Pure Power 11 CM semi Modular 80+ Gold Power Supply (BN917)

Moreso how long have you had it, 7 years of use can wear away at a PSU

Launched october 2018. PP11 500w can handle a 3070 so the 600w version should be fine with a 1080Ti.

Plenty fine.

 

May wanna check the temps on the 1080ti and frequency. If its stuck at 83c it means that its reached maxed boosting temps and thus is capping clockspeed. The aorus should run below that with fair ease
