I am looking at new power supplies and was wondering if it pays to buy one larger than you need at this time?
Does a 550 watt power supply draw 550 watts all the time or only when needed? If they do not draw to their maximum capacity, it seems like it would be better to buy one larger than you need right now because the only cost would be the drive itself and not an increased electric bill and more heat.
