Pc Build details:
Motherboard: ASUS P5Q
CPU: Intel Xeon x5470 – planning overclocking on the 775 model
Video Card: R9 FurySaphire Nitro 4GB (concern about this)
Power Supply: EVGA BQ 850W (bronze)
I’m just checking if an upgrade to a better PSU is necessary, but I’d appreciate another perspective.

Sure, it's all good, mate. You've got 300 watts to experiment with there.

Consider a "kill-a-watt" investment. You'll be amazed at how much power your setup consumes.
