Hello all, I've finalized my build and would like to know if the PSU I selected below is adequate to run these components easily. My second question is how accurate are PC Part Picker's estimated wattages, can I take those as gospel and choose my PSU based around them?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The Corsar psu will work fine. All the wattage estimators need to be taken with a grain of salt. They don't and can't take into account the quality of the psu. The Corsair AX860 is a very high quality psu.
