Hi guys! I am about to build my Pc so I search the best price. My build was originally with an TX650v2 and a 200r

But I found a really good deal on a case with a PsU at first I thought it was not a good psu but its antec hcg 900 on a cheap case that has no usb nor cable management but good airflow :D 
What are the problems of using an overkill psu?
Should I buy it?

My pc
I5 4570
H97 d3h
R9 280x
So I need a good 550W unit but this is 900W which is really high, at least I won't have issues xfiring but I don't intend to

The case is a antec 600 it costs around $110

No issues with the extra power your computer will only draw the power it needs.

I agree with SR-71. I would only add that, the power supply may fall short of it's best efficiency scores if you load it very lightly, but other than that, everything should be fine.
