I was actually looking at this exact board at one point -- you may want to give https://www.servethehome.com/supermicro-x10sdv-6c-tln4f-review-xeon-d-1528-mitx/ a read through. I seem to recall there being a mention of with it being a Xeon, make sure you have good cooling. The case I was planning on using for this did not, hence why I'm no longer looking at this option :-)
PSU - Absolutely. Based on same quick numbers, I'd be looking for a 300W+ PSU
RAM - Seems fine from the 30 seconds I looked at it.
EDIT: Additional word of warning. I recall certain Supermicro boards using a proprietary connector for certain things -- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VUJYTW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. You may want to look into it. Not sure if it's relevant or not.
In regards to the front panel connector, you'll want this adapter.
Most of the sc846’s use an X9 board. You can run other boards but need this adapter: Supermicro 6-Inch 16Pin Front Control Split Cable (CBL-0084L) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000VUJYTW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_KwLPDbP3AWCHM
Just a heads up, you can get breakout cables that take the big block of pins and turn them into your standard case IO double pin connections.
EDIT. Just need to check if you have 16, 20 or 32 pins in the first block.
Go here then select ‘Chassis Data’ followed by ‘Front Control 16p’ or ‘Front Control 20p’ as required.
Here is Supermicro 11.81-Inch 16-Pin Front Panel Split Cable aka CBL-0068L over on Amazon for example.
EDIT2. Oh, just realised assuming it’s the same as the X9SRL’s that I have, check the quick reference guide and/or manual and it will show what pins are what, you can probably get away without the adaptor.
Even if you do get an adaptor, I think you’d also need a bunch of two pin male to male connectors (or in a pinch, a bunch of solid wire) as the two pin connectors in your case and on the adaptor are all female - or directly splice the wires to each other.
The cable that connects the front of the chassis to the board, the front panel where you press power on, and see the status LED's, this is a splitter to split the stock supermicro one, into ones for other boards.
The frontpanel Supermicro connector issue can be corrected with one of their own products without splicing: Amazon link
The rest is completely on point though.
