Large psu on low end parts

UNuniQueLY · Jul 26, 2013

So I want to make a budget build because some unexpected expensives have shown up and I want to be able to recycle a majority of the part's went I upgrade. So my question is can I use a large power supply on low end parts like 600w with something like a g860 or something bad happens.

Not a problem.
A psu will use only the wattage that it requires, regardless of it's maximum capability.
The only negative might be a psu that operates a little inefficiently. The plus is that it will be quieter since it will be loafing.

It is perfectly fine if you do that because the PSU and the component both regulate the wattage it if I'm not mistaken.
