I was wondering if my psu has enough watts to run my system without bottle-necking it. I have a Corsair CX Series 600 Watt. I might slightly overclock but nothing crazy. My system is

Cpu: Ryzen 2 2700x (using wraith prism for now)
Gpu: MSI Gtx 1080ti gaming x
Motherboard: Asus x470 ROG Crosshair VII Hero (Wi-Fi)
Ram: Corsair Vengeance RGB 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3200
Psu: Corsair CX Series 600 Watt
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO 500gb, Crucial MX500 500gb, Seagate BarraCuda Pro 4tb

Your system would use under 350w, though that unit isn't very good. It isn't even DC-DC which is highly recommended for high end, modern systems.

I would not use it for your system as you are risking expensive parts and reducing their lifespan.

For this build I'd be looking at the Bitfenix Whisper, Corsair RMx, EVGA G3, etc. Where are you located?

I wouldn't use that. For one, it's old and not a very good psu. It could technically handle a 1080 Ti. Yes, it's enough and you can use it. It's a lower end psu with a top end card.

I chose the seasonic G series 650W 80+ Gold. I'd pick the 650W Focus 80+ gold over that. I refuse to take any chances with such a card. I have the EVGA 1080 Ti FTW3 Hybrid.
