Thought I helped you with this before...?

 

Anyways, that "list" I posted is useful if you know where to start and with an i7 and 1080 Ti system you'd want to start at at least tier 2. Look for something capable of 550W or higher, 850W or so if you want to SLI down the road. The EVGA GQ/G2/G3, Corsair RMx/RMi, Seasonic X-series, etc are a good place to start.

My account is almost entirely dormant. Hope you all are having a grand time. Many years of fun were had here.

All you do is go to the PSU Tier list (Click on the cases and PSU's tab and then it is the first one). Any thing from tier 1 is golden. With this build I'd say go for 650 watts or more. If you want SLI, like STRMfrmXMN said go with at least 850 watts. Hope this helps

If you want to SLI 1080 Tis then get the 850G3, sure.
