I'm going to upgrade soon and I've decided on a 9700k with a strix 1080 unless amd comes out with something good soon, I have an evga 600b currently and I was wondering if I can recycle it for the new build?

Parts:
Asus rog maximus xi hero z390
gskill tridentz rgb 16gb 3200 mhz
samsung 970 evo m.2 500gb
i7 9700k
Asus strix gtx 1080
cryorig r1 ultimate cpu fan

I plan on overclocking the strix slightly but maxing out the i7 9700k as far as it can go, will I have enough power? Or should I just upgrade to a 750w

Also if you think I should upgrade, do you have any suggestions on a good psu for a decent price?

As above, it doesn't make sense to spend $1500 - 2000 on a system, and then skimp on the power supply.

It is more than you need, but here is a 850 watt EVGA G3 for $80. The 650 watt G3 is $70.

EVGA SuperNOVA 850 G3, 220-G3-0850-X1, 80+ GOLD, 850W Fully Modular, EVGA ECO Mode with New HDB Fan, Includes FREE Power On Self Tester, Compact 150mm Size, Power Supply

Visit www.pcpartpicker.com and input your parts to be advised of the MINIMUM power requirements for your particular setup, easiest solution for you to advise you.... As mentioned above its not worth skimping on the Power Supply with a minimum difference in price....

NO...

Get a good high quality 650W to 750W PSU.
