EVGA 750 P2

Is an EVGA 750w P2 going to be sufficient for an 11700k + Reference RX6800? Not planning on overclocking. PSU calculators seem to vary enormously for this config!

Thanks in advance.

Under full load that Intel would suck some serious amount of watts, but in gaming that shouldn't be problem.
While RX6800 has quite sensible peak power draw.

Thanks. 750w should be okay for the moment then? Don't want to spend extra money if I don't have to, the EVGA P2s are quite good units.

Since my EVGA P2 was 5-6 years old I decided to replace it with a Fractal Ion+2 Platinum 860w. Seems decent enough, it's quieter than the EVGA and the cables are impressively flexible. Only downside is it seems to whine when the PC is switched off, but since I don't use the room when I'm not on the PC it's not the end of the world (in fairness the EVGA buzzed when the PC was off).
