Hi guys!

I need some advice about my possible build.
I have a FSP Gold+ certification 500W PSU, and right now there is an i5-7600 65W TDP CPU, 16GB(2x8) HyperX ram, Samsung 256GB SSD and 3 TB WD BLUE in the build.
I have a chance to get an RTX2080, the question is, do i need a bigger PSU for the system?
I know the recommanded PSU for RTX2080 is 650W, but the other components in my case are not that PSU hungry, so is this possible to run this build with an 500W GOLD+ PSU for gaming?

Thank you for any answers!

I’d say don’t risk it. This founders edition peaked at 314w for the gpu alone and if you have a factory overclocked card this will be higher.

Absolutely not, don't even think about it.

Get a good quality 650W PSU.
