CPU performance should hold up well. Even with an i9 under heavy use, it shouldn't exceed 300W. It'll be a tight situation mainly due to your GPU. This upgrade paired with your 1080 gives you a comfortable margin around the 500W threshold. The average estimate from PCPartPicker is 410W, offering some flexibility. Based on your power supply tier, maintaining 80% constant load should still work.
