CPUs you can use with a 850W PSU
Assuming you already have a ~250W GPU, here's a compiled list of possible CPUs you can use:
| CPU | TDP | Quick Buy |
|---|---|---|
| Intel Xeon 6768P | 330W |
|
| Intel Xeon 6748P | 300W |
|
| Intel Xeon 6736P | 205W |
|
| AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D | 170W |
|
| AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D | 120W |
|
| AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D | 105W |
|
| AMD Ryzen 5 7600X | 105W |
|
| AMD Ryzen 5 7500F | 65W |
|
| AMD Ryzen 5 5500 | 65W |
|
| AMD Ryzen 5 5600 | 65W |

What CPUs can you use with a 850W power supply?
First of all we have to make an assumption regarding the rest of your PC, let's start by assuming you have a ~250W GPU. Also, we can assume that the rest of your PC components (MB, RAM, Fans, Storage, etc...) consume an additional 100W, and we'll have an additional 100W of margin. That leaves us with 315W for the CPU.
With 315W you can squeeze in CPUs such as Intel Xeon 6768P, Intel Xeon 6748P, Intel Xeon 6736P, AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D, AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D.
