I'm building a very high end gaming / programming PC and I'm trying to decide on a power supply for the system. Based on wattage calculators, it seems that I'll be running roughly 650-700W, which means I could easily use a 850-1000W PSU. I was looking at the ToughPower iRGB Plus Platinum series by Thermaltake, due to the RBG integration, which is a big part of my build.
My problem is this - there's an incredible deal available for the highest spec model in the ToughPower iRGB series, the 1250W Titanium. For some reason, it's available on Amazon Canada right now for $295 CAD. This is a PSU that goes for $400+ USD ($550+ CAD) on any given day. I know the 1250W is way higher than I need for my setup, but that deal is a tough one to pass on. For comparison's sake, the 1000W version of the same series is only $20 less. Should I stick with that one, or pay the extra $20 for the extra 250W + Titanium grading? Are there any downsides to having a way higher wattage than needed? Here is my parts list for reference:
