No
think of it like this Watt is more of a measurement of power load, rather than just power, Think of it as a river. Volts is the amount of water in the river bout amps is the force pushing the water. Your computer is only going to pull what it needs. Its not going to hurt anything and it will work but your wasting your money on a PS that big.

I check your specs out and have a good chipset but still that 850 watt is a overkill for that motherboard and feel that it won't support it i would go no higher than a 650 watt psu and or a gtx 580 or a gtx 660 ti , also can upgrade to a amd phenomll x4 965 be if you want to a good processor for gaming
