help on whether a 460w PSU is enough

I have bought a refurbished alienwear aurora 7

i7 8700 (non k)
GTX1080

it comes with a 460w psu.

i probably will want to update the graphics card next year

however will 460w be enough

obviously as the CPU is a non k version then it wont be overclocked

I should point out that the spec list regarding the PSU was blank so i dont know if it has the 460 or 850 psu. I am assuming that it has the 460psu though

looking at the spec finder on the aurora r8 if you chose the same GPU and CPU the default PSU is still the 460 one

does anyone know whether the PSU referred to above would fit

i know the seasonic own brand one works as its suggested as a direct replacement

dell have confirmed that its a 460psu and that is the default spec for the 1080gtx on the dell site,. They will knock a further 10% off the price though so if i accept it will be around £880.
