Is a 650w platinum PSU enough for a 3080

[Oreo]

So I’m thinking of getting a 3080 and replace my current 4060, but I don’t know if a 650W PSU is enough. Here are my specs
I5 12600kf
32gb ddr4 Corsair dominator ram
TUF gaming Z790-PLUS Mobo
650w EVGA platinum rated PSU
1tb 980 pro with heat sink

Can use PSU calculator site, but DON'T take 1st PSU near it value it shows, AIM HIGHER.

What you have listed which I assume have nothing else that need wattage plus RTX 3080 added is around 600 watts what pointed to, also the PSU can draw MORE power above what it rated for, doesn't mean should be doing so, but when that happen it depends on the TIER of PSU you get or more the design, and quality parts used that matters as doing overload if happen to use more than 650 watts.

Whenever plan to build a new PC, always AIM higher at least 750w or higher if plan to go for high end hardware that uses a lot of wattage, otherwise only focus on mid range if aim at mid range this way waste less money without having to rebuy things to spend more in the long run.

If I don’t go for a used 3080 ima try to find a card that’s around 500ish, anyone got any card other than a 7700xt?

The 7800 XT should be ~$500 area you're asking, and uses less power than RTX 3080, so IMO this can work with your current system without needing change PSU at all.

I found a deal on fbmk for a 6800xt and a 750w psu for my 4060 and 100 on top, should I cop?
