CPUs you can use with a 850W PSU
Assuming you already have a ~200W GPU, here's a compiled list of possible CPUs you can use:
| CPU | TDP | Quick Buy |
|---|---|---|
| Intel Xeon 6761P | 350W |
|
| Intel Xeon 6781P | 350W |
|
| Intel Xeon 6944P | 350W |
|
| Intel Xeon 6736P | 205W |
|
| AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D | 170W |
|
| Intel Core i7-14700K | 125W |
|
| AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D | 120W |
|
| AMD Ryzen 7 5800X3D | 105W |
|
| AMD Ryzen 5 7600X | 105W |
|
| AMD Ryzen 5 7500F | 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 ~200W 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 365W for the CPU.
With 365W you can squeeze in CPUs such as Intel Xeon 6761P, Intel Xeon 6781P, Intel Xeon 6944P, Intel Xeon 6736P, AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D.
