    You have an 800W PSU, which should be good enough for the 3090. As Chug asks, with the board you are selecting what power connectors does it require? Some use two 8pin, some a single 12 pin, some something else. I believe your 3080 is using two 8pin… I'm guessing you got some really good deal on the 3090? If I were needing to upgrade my video I'd be much more likely to buy a 40x0 than a 3090, the 3090 is only a fairly small incremental change.
