Hi everybody, my PC build needs a 650W Power Supply, someone told me the Seasonic Focus GX-650W (102+9 euros) but the same model 100W more powerful (GX-750W) costs just (105+0 euros) should I buy the 750 watt also if I don't need it or yet go for the 650W ad spend just 6 euro more than the 750W?

if the choice is between those units get the cheapest.
you will not be consuming one more watt with the larger unit.

A popular misunderstanding is that the 650W PSU will consume 650 all the time, this is not true. the unit will only consume slightly more than the computer needs at any given time. the larger unit will not cost any more to run than the other unit if that was a concern.
