My mother board is an Asus A320 m-k and I want to power it with a 850w psu. Can I do this or will it fry the motherboard? Thanks in advance.

No issues using a big power supply. The rating is there to tell you what the max power the PSU can supply. If your system pulls 100W, that's all the PSU will provide. Theoretically, you can throw in a 1000+W power supply, but if you don't get near that level of power draw, you're sort of wasting your money buying such a big power supply. There's also some efficiency considerations when you have such a big power supply but only drawing a fraction of the power it can provide.
