I have an 850w Corsair 80 plus bronze psu and with a kill a watt power meter my pc pulled just under 800 watts at the wall max every now and then in short bursts while using 3D Mark Time Spy. I know what's showing on the kill a watt isn't exactly what's making it out of the other side of the psu, and benchmarking is harder on components than everyday gaming is. Am I safe with my current psu?

Well, benchmarks are there to load system to the max and maximum power draw should be expected. Games may not be able to overload system as much, so lower power draw.

I also have an HTC Vive but it uses its own power with a plug.
Most of the time, especially while gaming, it hovers anywhere from 400 watts to 650 - 700 watts. It only gets those spikes in benchmarks.
