850w should be enough but make sure it's a known and trusted brand and not some antec psu or something
oh yeah it's from msi
Psu’s dont give 100% power all the time
I suggest 1000w For 5080
Its going to give you like 70% power after some gaming (the Psu)
Which means 595w
Only 9800x3d can use up to 160w
595-160=435
5080= 360w
(Maybe 5-10w more in ultra graphics)
435-360=75
75w isnt enough for the rest of your build
tier b? (from ztt tierlist, A850GL btw)
whatpsu.com said the minimum wattage for it is 700w tho
i could downgrade my mobo (i think i will considering the instability issues, x870e nova btw) and use that extra budget for a proper 1000w psu plus some other upgrades
700w (psu’s give 70% power)
If 70% =700w
10%=100w
100x10=1,000

If u want 100% performance from the psu
U will get a black screen
Instead of a 100% performance
Bro
U can buy a 5080
But cant afford the price difference between a 850w psu and a 1000w psu?

like bronze, gold, platinum, etc
also ignore what the other guy is saying, as long as its a good brand and is more than nvidia's recommended wattage it's fine
which in this case
nvidia recommends 850
the PSU you chose is also MSI and is 80+ gold certified
which is very good
so ignore what the other guy is saying
but it's also not bad to get higher
