I have already purchased 7800X3D and intend to buy the upcoming 4080 Super. From my previous build I will retain the EVGA Supernova 850 P5, 80 Plus Platinum 850W. Will this PSU suffice for those two parts? Here are the specs of my current setup:
- EK Mana distro plate
- Two 7200 RPM HDDs
- One 5400 RPM HDD (to be replaced soon)
- One SSD
- Two 16 RGB RAM modules
- Two NVME SSDs
- Six RGB fans
- Standard USB 3.0 and 3.2 with sound for the case
Please let me know in advance!

P5 is a basic Platinum rated device running an old platform. It isn't suitable for modern hardware. Consider choosing an ATX3.0 PSU instead. A good starting point is the link provided.

The reason might not be the wattage, but something else entirely. You mentioned you won't be overclocking anytime soon.

The power rating is fine, but the internal layout of ACRF+DC-DC ATX2.4 isn't suitable for modern GPUs. You should use an ATX3.0 model with an LLC+DC-DC platform and a PCIe5.0 port.
