Probably, but I would go for a GTX 980 instead. Lower power consumption and newer architecture. 

Aesthetics of rigs matter

More than enough, but try to get a evga super nova g2 750w. Much cheaper than the rm series while being much better quality and cleaner power.

Ryzen 3700x -Evga RTX 2080 Super- Msi x570 Gaming Edge - G.Skill Ripjaws 3600Mhz RAM - EVGA SuperNova G3 750W -500gb 970 Evo - 250Gb Samsung 850 Evo - 250Gb Samsung 840 Evo  - 4Tb WD Blue- NZXT h500 - ROG Swift PG348Q

yea but get the gtx 980, it beats the 780 ti in every way.

I understand that, but in that 780ti is over 150 cheaper than the the cheapest 980 available in australia.

That's fair then.

Also, I imagine, even overclocked you won't be getting more than 400 Watts at any given point.

Also, don't buy the Corsair RM series. They're a really disappointing lineup from Corsair and should die.

If you want a good PSU, I'll always recommend SeaSonic for life.

What's so bad about the RM series?

Explain.

Cheap capacitors. Basically, everybody should expect more from a company like Corsair. Read this thread http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/69910-why-is-corsair-rm-series-bad/
