Noobie here and I'm in the process of building a new music studio PC, most of the parts are ordered but have had a delay with the power supply which was going to be a 650watt Coolermaster one. As I've ordered several parts from one company they have offered me a 1050watt Coolermaster power supply, that they have in stock, as an alternative for just £20 more than the cost of the original 650watt power supply. The full system build is below, but I wanted some opinions on the new power supply option and wether it is over kill or not?
