Don;t even ask a question like that. People with a GTX Titan and 12 fans still only have an idle power consumption of 350-400 watts.

Why do people always think they need an overkill psu of 750 watts,

Because running a PSU closer to it's maximum output runs down it's lifespan faster. Also ensures protection against spiking.

+1 to Tariqs comment , Also saves you shelling out on a new one down the line...

Running a terribly made PSU is gonna break no matter what wattage and using a 750w to power 300-400w is not energy efficient at all and is a waste. 550 is perfectly fine.

750W does not run at 750W unless it needs to, Its like running a ferrari on tickover, compared to a Fiat Punto redlining it everywhere. The lower powered one will break first
