You really can’t go wrong with https://pcpartpicker.com/. Obviously double check things like GPU size mentioned below, and up size your PSU if you ever intend to upgrade GPU in same case. 850 Watts is a solid choice regardless of what your current picks need.
Buy more than you need, is the lesson I've learnt. Especially power, I have an 850 as well, but I sort of wish I bought a 1000W, the way things are going.
5950x with 7900xtx runs fine on my 850 watt.
For sure, I win a 5800x3d and a 4070ti on an 850, but I had to replace the 650 that I built with in 2020 to do that. Two power supplies in three years could have been averted if I had just bought a bit more than I needed the first time. It sucks having to completely rewire an already built computer too.
