Will this powersupply work with the rest of my components?

Hi!
I'm just wondering if the XFX ProSeries Core Edition 850W PSU power supply works with the Fractal Design Define R4 Black Pearl case, ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z mobo, AMD FX-8350 processor, Gainward GeForce GTX 770 Phantom graphics card and the Corsair Vengeance Pro DDR3 1600MHz 16GB RAM.
Thanks!

The graphics card does NOT require 600W for itself, that recommendation is for the overall system power need. I would look at the XFX 650W version of the PSU you originally listed or any other quality 650W or above made by Seaonic, XFX, Corsair (except their CX series) or Antec. I say this to allow some headroom assuming you will be overclocking your CPU. If you are not going to overclock, then the XFX 550W unit would probably work.
Also, if you plan on overclocking you will probably need to get an aftermarket CPU cooler.

How many watts would you recommend? I'm a hardware noob so I thought I needed quite a lot since the graphics card requires a minimum of 600W and the processor requires about 220W, plus the fact that the other components will need power too.
