No, it won't be sufficient.

Hey! You're all set with the components you've chosen. The 3960x offers better performance, so it's a smart upgrade. Your PSU, SSDs, and Nvidia 2080 GTI should handle it well. Just double-check the wattage requirements and ensure everything fits your case. Let me know if you need help with anything else!
On the market it appears within the 286 W range, which should be acceptable. But after boosting all core speeds to high, power consumption can spike significantly. The 2990WX 32 core from the previous generation was often criticized for being around 250 W, yet it performed well—reaching about 600 W at 4+ GHz across all cores. If you're planning this upgrade, consider a bigger power supply and an exceptional cooling solution.
Yes, even if both CPU and GPU are under stress test. 3960X, being a 24 core CPU, will draw roughly (actually less than) 3 times the 8 core 3700x which draws about 120w. 250w to a stock 2080Ti or 320w if you go with max limit of the card. SSDs, fans, cooling system and board can stuff might take 100w-150w extra depending on what exactly you choose, but there's definitely room. It would be great if people can stop giving their own names to existing products though
Thanks in advance! No original characters involved. I'm interested in observing the performance!
I possess a build with two Xeon E5-2667 v3 processors (135 W TDP each) paired with eight 4 GB DDR4 modules, an RTX 2080 Super, six SSDs in RAID-0 configuration plus one HDD for redundancy. The power source is a Seasonic Prime Ultra 850W Titanium unit. I attempted a high-performance benchmark using double precision AVX in the command prompt on the CPUs while simultaneously rendering ray-tracing for an AAA game; the system handled under 600 W, consistent with the APC Back-UPS Pro 1200's rating. Everything functions properly. All clock speeds remain at stock levels.
