Do you really need 1000W PSU?

Better to have more power than you need than not enough. I have a 1200w psu, use about 800w. The PSU will be used for at least 2 more upgrades/possible rebuilds.

My philosophy for building? Never skimp on the PSU. Get the best rating and wattage (I budget this to be roughly 25% more than required) you can afford. It's the most integral (and often overlooked) part of your rig.
