If it's a good quality psu then yes. But if it doesn't work then just return it and buy a 1000w

100% it's more than enough.  Just get a good quality unit as said above.

Full model names help answer questions like this. XPG has a number of 80+ Gold 850W models. Most are very good according to https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/ , so you should be fine. Unless the GPU manufacturer recommends more than an 850W PSU. (No argument that 850W should be enough, just pointing out that some manufacturers may recommend a higher capacity.)

Don't do that upgrade. Your platform supports the Ryzen 7 5800X3D and that CPU performs like a 7700X in some games and even stronger in others.

If you want to feed a 6950XT, even a 5700X could do that fine on 1440p, but you can afford the 5800X3D.

But if you want to change the platform, get at least 8 cores.
