I've been researching for a new PSU. In my efforts I've seen alot of information on the subject. Question is (are), I calculated my wattage using the link somewhere else. The calculator figured my needs were around 280w. Now I know my current PSU is rated 330w, but what benefit would I get from a new 500+ watt PSU?. Why won't a 330 be good enoungh other than the fact that I'm close to maxing out and loading the PSU to it's limit? Do things run better or perform better (i.e.-video, CPU, overall speed) when your not close to the limit of the PSU? I know heating is an issue, but is there power bleed when a PSU is pushing it?
I'm still getting a new PSU. But curious on what happens with a PSU when it's stressed.
