How good is PC Partpicker at with estimating the wattage you'll need for your PC?
What I'm getting at is, I put all of my parts in, and it claims I'll need a PSU of just over 500 watts for my setup, and I have a 1000 PSU. I'm wanting to replace my GPU soon. Currently, I have a GTX 980, and I want to upgrade to possibly the RTX 3080 or maybe even RTX 3090. From what I'm seeing, these video cards use almost 200 watts more of power.
Edit: Here are my system specs, as I listed on PCPartPicker. The only thing that isn't accurate is the RAM, I couldn't find 4x16GB listed: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/JOSHSKORN/saved/#view=7PnjZL
