If I was buying a psu for a new system (soon, soon) I certainly twould buy a quality one maybe a bit bigger for peace of mind. I think quality is more import ant than quanity (of watts).
My current pc just grew over 2 years around this power supply and all reamins well.
If you think about it...
My cpu = 80w, 5 drives = 50 w (ish)
SLowish g card= 40w
5 cards, dunno 25 w maybe.
A few fans = 10w
That is 215 watts in total. No problem.
An extreme gamer might have a something thirstier;
Hot OC pentium = 160w (?)
Fat graphics card = 100w
Two drives / fans / cards = 50w maybe.
Well that is still only 310 w.
Some lads might have 2 g cars I suppose but I find it hard to imagine why anyone needs 600 w.
No I know, it's to power all those bloody leds and light tubes!
