[SOLVED] Is it possible to get "too good" of a power supply?

[shotgungwm]

I'm currently parting my first PC I'm going to build.
Specs:
Ryzen 5 2600
RX Vega 56
Western Digital 1 tb 7200 rpm
240 gb Kingston SATA SSD
B450M Pro4 Motherboard
16gb ram

So basically, I'm looking at power supplies, and I can find good deals but only for 750w Gold power supplies (Cooler Master V750 and Gigabyte G750H. These units are only about $10-$20 more than a 550w-600w Bronze supply. My question is, even if it is overkill for my system (not planning on running 2 GPUs or overclocking) is it worth it to get the better PSU? Thanks

Get a good one like the CM V750 even if it's overkill at this time. The Gigabyte is terrible.
No harm in getting a PSU with more watts than needed , your setup will only draw what it needs.

Yes, it is better to get a better PSU. However, efficiency ratings don't necessarily mean better quality. The guts of the PSU mean more than the rating.

If you mean too many watts, no. The more the better. You'll only use what the system demands.

You can never get too good of a psu.

A pc only draws the amount of power it needs. Having a large amount of watts won't hurt anything.

Go for the CoolerMaster which is a good model.

I saw a case where that gigabyte model failed on here recently so i wouldnt trust it.

If you built a system with $200 worth of parts, but chose a $300 psu, that would qualify as "too good" of a PSU. It wouldn't really hurt anything, but it would be a waste of money

not really, the PSU is your most critical part, and, if it blows up and is crap quality, it can damage all kinds of other stuff connected to it. and nobody is going to spend 300 on a psu, but many balk at 100, which they should not.

the same with you can never buy too good of tires for your car. get the best you can afford is what I say.
