2. ASUS ROG Strix 850W Gold Aura Edition
3. ASUS ROG STRIX B650E-F GAMING WIFI Mainboard Sockel AM5
4. AMD Ryzen 97900X CPU

I presume you mistyped Ryzen 7950X but no, it would not work like this. In particular:

7950X requires DDR5 memory instead of DDR4.

Working but suboptimal: 850 Watts. This is roughly enough for top CPU (like 7950X Ryzen) and GPU (4080) but transient spikes can cause it to overwhelm.
It's better to just go straight for 1000 Watts PSU and have peace of mind.
