I'm currently using an 850W power supply and I'm curious if that's enough for my new build with a 5080 Super. My CPU is a 9800x3d, and I also have one NVMe SSD, two HDDs, and a WiFi/Bluetooth PCIe card. Should I consider upgrading to a 1000W power supply, or do you think 850W will cut it?

You should be good with 850W. The 5080 Super is speculated to have a TDP over 400W, but for most setups, including yours, it should leave enough headroom unless you’re pushing extreme overclocks or have a ton of peripherals. It's really about your whole system's configuration, but 850W sounds fine!
An 850W PSU should be plenty, especially since a high-quality unit can handle it without issues. I had a quality 750W running a 4090 with a similar setup, and it worked perfectly fine!
Thanks for clarifying! I’ll stick with my 850W for now and see how it goes.
