Does PSU wattage matter?

I was wondering if PSU wattage and PSU amps can affect my gaming performance?

it affects the stability and longevity of your system/components. also to some extent affects power efficiency.
Wattage is either enough or not.
but as for gaming performance - no, it does not affect your FPS.

No, as long as your PSU has enough power. Having more then required does not have absolutely any effect on performance, although it can have some effect on electric bills.

Ok thanks for answers I thought that it will increase my fps so now I know that I dont have to buy new PSU I guess I just saved some money.

The biggest factor for consideration is to ensure that your PSU meets the power needs of your overall system and especially your GPU.

What are the specs (make/model) of all components for your current/proposed system?
