650w Power supply

Yesterday I bought parts for my computer build, which I'm going to use for graphic design and a bit of gaming, but the thing is I think I bough the wrong power supply as it is corsair rm650, which means its only 650w. My other parts are;

Ryzen 7 1800x (cpu)
EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW (gpu)
Asus Crosshair VI Hero (motherboard)
NZXT Kraken x62 (aio cooler)
Transcend 240GB SSD
WD 2TB Hardrive
Trident Z RGB Series 32 GB (ram)
2 of NZXT RGB 120mm Fans
NZXT Hue+ RGB Dual Channel LED Controller

Could I get away with 650w or should I sell it as I already opened it? (what a stupid idea, I know

).

650w is plenty for one 1080 gfx card and the listing above. If you wanted to double up cards, it may be borderline or too little.

Oh thank you, thats good to know, I though I need to get a new 750w.

I'm putting a very similar load on my 650W and I can barely even get the fan to spin. You're completely fine dude. Don't worry.
