The specifications mention an 850W power supply, but the calculator suggests a 650W unit. Is this accurate? With these components, will the 850W PSU operate at full capacity, and is that sufficient?

FYI: Review all details first, then apply the calculators. Goal is to reach a common wattage figure. Keep in mind that if a part lists a range, take the upper limit.

I've selected my power supply and used various PSU calculators, but I still need clarification on the questions from the original post.

PSU calculators are not very reliable. They overlook aspects such as transient power spikes. Which PSU did you order? The exact make and model. Not every PSU is the same. The minimum requirement for the 4070ti is 700w, but this is just a baseline. It doesn’t take into account those sudden power surges. Cheaper models usually have inferior components, even if they are certified Bronze or Gold, the quality often falls short. The PSU can operate at different efficiency levels depending on its capability. It won’t be drawing 850 watts constantly. Unless you’re pushing the system under heavy load, like stress testing CPU and GPU simultaneously. Also, the advice you’re getting seems from users who are open to help, but your style suggests you’re not ready for suggestions. 850w should be enough.

Edit: The PSU is essentially the most crucial part in a modern PC build. It shouldn’t be cut corners.

I'm looking at a FSP Hydro G Pro ATX 3.0 850W unit, a Tier-A power supply. Can it manage sudden power surges? Should I be concerned about it maintaining a steady 850W output?

It's a solid unit built with durable components and comes with a 10-year warranty. Although it isn't the top choice, your selection was reasonable.
Yes, it can manage spikes well. The 4070 series features spikes that are significantly lower than those in the 3000 series, making it suitable for this setup.
No need to worry about performance at full capacity. While it might reach maximum power draw under certain conditions, it operates efficiently as a PSU. With just gaming loads, it won't draw 850 watts, possibly even less. No major concerns here.
