You're lucky you're buying the lowest wattage card in the market right now because that's a terrible PSU.

He did say a quality brand though, low end brands tend to list the peak power BUT won't survive long if it keeps reaching that, The higher quality ones list the average power output not the peak power output. We tend to really steam away from cheaper PS because it's the heart of your system and if it blows out it CAN destroy everything attached to it if it sends a surge of power when it goes. Risk destroying all components in your system. I've personally seen it happen and there was a big char mark on the mother board because the surge of power made some capacitors blow up.
