For next gen its a wait and see for me. We've already seen a lot of sources pointing that Lovelace is going to be a power hungry beast. 4080/90 going up to 600w, and even a midrange 4070 around 350W. RDNA 3 supposedly quite a bit more efficient. I'd rather not deal with extra heat/power than necessary also save me from spending money on a new PSU - if possible. But then a lot will ride on performance (like RT) and other useful features. I'd say you should be okay for 4080 with no OC with a 1000W PSU. At least we should hope so lol.

Yea pretty much. Especially during the summer, it gets really hard to play games on it. Like the cooling and etc can keep up with my 3080/5950x but oh boy, the room temp is like a toaster after 20 minutes. I could turn on AC but that's more like a bandage than anything.

Well, there is always the option to reduce settings in AAA games or play less demanding games in the summer. It's not impossible to play on high end GPUs with 100 - 200 watts.
