You might could try it. But might not work. Good PSU but your CPU is overclocked as well..

Q9650 at 3.94G can take 160w depending on the vcore. GTX285 is a 183w GPU and draws about 170w on load. Based on what you have, total is around 63a/760w. The 850tx can do 70a/840w on 12v so it should be fine for now.

850W should handle it, but its always safe to have a 1K instead.

he's real. the 850w should handle it but it only has 4 pci connectors. it is single rail so if you confident to add two new connectors yourself, it will work fine!

I'm going to reccomend what I'm using. hx1000w Corsair. 850 is really pushing it I don't care what lins says. Charts are charts. Do you want something that SHOULD be ok, or something that WILL handle it.

850w is cutting it kinda close, but it'll handle it. I'd still go for 1000w just so you aren't running your PSU near 100% output when you're gaming/benching.

Agreed. 1000hx will have more headroom.
