Yes just to add a little: every PSU trips off at certain overloads above their specified. As long as they run good at their specified power output, there's no downside to PSU's. Just be aware of what your power demands are when putting a system together. Most individuals make the same mistake as they do when looking at a CPU's and thinking, "Hey up! 3.2 GHz Pentium and AMD 4800 only 2.4Ghz!!! I'm going for the faster one obviously!"

They do that in complete ignorance, because the AMD 4800 is roughly 20% faster than the Pentium 3.2GHz in reality! The P4 has around 31 stage pipeline while the AMD has about 15! That will be what determines speed and accuracy of the processing.

Anyway, so just be careful and know the people here have decent amounts of knowledge and daily experience, so you won't find them short on anything found elsewhere, I tell ya.
