650w is enough. Also tier 2 or above in the list linked by @CUDA_Cores

1) Corsair 

2) Cooler Master

3) Antec 

1. 550W.

650W and up is not needed for a normal Desktop PC with an LGA115x socket.

 

2. There is no 'Future Proof'. The next graphics card can always mess with your PSU and kill compatibility. Getting a 750W for the "Future" just does not make sense.

Especially since it is entirely possible that the ~23 Years old ATX spec will be succeded by a +12V only (with or without +5VSB) Standard...

 

3. You should go for Quality instead of Wattage.

 

A shitty group regulated 7x0 or 8x0W makes no sense because for the same money you could get a good 550W unit...

These things consume so little power it doesnt matter. Why would you want more RAM though? 16GB is enough for all gaming rigs and basic video editing.

 

Sound card is also only useful if you have a full surround sound setup.

I will buy Creative Sound BlasterX AE-5. It's a new gaming rgb sound  card from creative. It's support 5:1 and 7:1 surround sound. It's have 32 bit to 384Hz. So recommend me speaker and headphone for this. I want crystal clear voice and great bass which one will blow my mind and give me eargasm. Here is this sound card link check it out bro.

Problem is they are all that i choose they all from different shop. But Star Tech and Binary Logic is best. I am still not sure. But if you want to buy go for Binary Logic or Star Tech because they sell with good cost in other shop like UCC global brand and other shop they are PC parts expensive. But what i want it's have in out I country as i said different shop. Go for Corsair they are top of the line PSU .

None of those components draw any significant amount of power. 

Look at the heatsink of something like a passive GT 1030. That's way bigger than any heatsink on any RAM kit, SSD, HDD or sound card. And the 1030 is a 30W card. So the other components will draw nearly nothing.

None of those really use any power.

So i should go for 650 watt whatever PSU i want right?

For a single 1080 Ti, 550-650W. The RMx is among the quietest PSUs, if you want that, and are willing to pay a bit extra for it. Do keep in mind that you can use a PSU for longer if it's a better one.

For SLI, 750-850W.

No, you should get a 650W RMi since I know you can get there where you live. Not just any old PSU, since not every 650W PSU is good.

The one with the blue label? The grey label RMx should be better.
