Hey guys so I recently bought a 3440x1440p monitor and am considering selling my 2080 and upgrading to a 2080 ti. The model I'm looking at is the aorus which recommends a 750w psu versus the reference card recommending 650w. I have a 750w but now I'm wondering if it will be a enough. I'm running a i9 9900k at 5ghz, 16gb 3200mhz, 1tb ssd, aorus x390 pro, nh-15 and 3 fans. I do plan on overclocking the card. Will i have to also upgrade my psu?

From my experience, the quality / brand of PS is more important than simply the wattage. If the 750 is a good one, I'd rock it. You can always upgrade if it doesn't work / stops working down the road. About the only uncertainty for me is all the overclocking you're doing is probably sucking juice but that's somewhat offset by you just running a basic setup with just one drive.
I have an evga supernova g3, which is supposed to be good quality. I only run 3 case fans and two fans on the cpu cooler, no lights or rgb.

A 2080 ti with 9900k at 5ghz, 1tb ssd, and 3 fans will be fine on that psu.
I dont see how you can make it with just a 1 tb drive though as that seems VERY tiny for a gaming pc.
Lol, i only play a couple of games so it works for me. I was concerned because i dont think ive ever seen a graphics card recommend 750 watts.
