    I suppose you could use a "Now I don't have to worry about what's in the system" mindset to justify it. I personally never use PSUs under 500w, even when I know a 300 would do the job, just so I don't have to think about it if I add things later on....

    yea but i mean 1000 watts. All the new components are being designed to less power now. So these massive watt psu's arent as neccesary I admit i just bought a 650watt psu but honestly i only got it cuz i was planning to run SLI and i wanted to just make sure i had a sli cert psu

    There should be a label "only for crazy freaks that need to launch a nuke while playing Doom 3"
    "It's time to prove to your friends that you're worth a damn. Sometimes that means dying, sometimes it means killing a whole lot of people."
