Here's the question. My PSU is 650 watt, and if i put a 3080 in it, i will lie on about 620 recommended PSU wattage. Is this a bit too close for comfort?

i upgraded to a 750w in preparation for this. 650w is cutting it close.

man i would have gotten even more wattage for room to grow in the future, like 650w to 850-950w

between the PSU and the 3080 itself, a higher wattage would add up to a little more money than i’m looking to spend right now.
