You can always go here http://www.coolermaster.com/power-supply-calculator/ to figure out how much you need. 

 

From your parts listed, youd need about a 400 watt, surprisingly. https://gyazo.com/8a7abe15272116d2ee3ad19b10ca559c

A current gen i7 + 1080 Ti will run fine on a quality 500w unit, single gpu set ups will always need <601w psus

The actual amount of power that system will use is less than 250W from the unit. You would probably want to start with a unit at least as decent as a Corsair CX450M or Seasonic S12.

First thing was that post is from over 7 years ago.

 

Normally if you have a good psu, the next most likely part to fail is the motherboard.
