It will technically work, but an 850W would be better in this configuration. Typically, you want to add the boost power of the CPU and GPU (253W and 263W in this case), add in 50W for the board and that should be about 70% of the PSU capacity. In this config, 70% would end up at 808W, so 850W would be the way to go for efficiency and longevity of your power supply.

Thanks for the help! edit: I did add a 850 watt PSU but is there any way I can get a cheaper one for the same amnt of wattage? if it’s possible do I need to change my bundle?
