Hi guys, i have a B150 Mortar MSI mobo.
I5-6500 cpu
16Gb ddr4-2133 ram
Gtx 980ti hybrid
Western digital 1tb hdd black
Samsung evo 850 250gb
H60 Corsair cooler
Windows 10
650 80+ Gold psu

Will i run into any issues for having too many watts in my psu ? I've always known psu's to be something you can't have too much have but i recently heard that 80% or more of the wattage needs to be used for it to work properly. Will i have problems with this 650 80+ Gold?

Having a too big PSU is not really a problem, if you want the best performance out of it you'd want to buy a PSU that's double the watts you need so it would be under 50%~ load but if you're not into that then you'd want the wattage you need for the parts +20% headroom. That PSU will be 100% fine. Could even maybe go for a 600w silver or something to save a bit (if you want).
