So my college let me know that a 600w microwave would be as high as you could go in terms of that specific appliance. How about power supplies? Would a 750w be too much? I don't think I ever push it to its limit, considering the total load of all of my parts is somewhere around 300w-400w or something, but..hey.

Just kind of confused. :c Thanks!

The current power supply I own is a AX750.

Power supplies ONLY draw power that the components NEED plus the efficiency facter. So for example a PSU that is 90% efficient and needs to draw 500W to power the system, it will draw 550w (500W + 10%) from the wall.

So if your components only require 400W, you are drawing not much more than that with the amazing efficiency of the AX series, so no issues.
