You guys are far more knowledgeable (nerdy) in the realm of computers than I, but I have always found the PSU thing interesting.
Isnt the wattage thing while under full load? For example if you have a mid to low end computer that you just want to play some old games via steam, why would you need a higher wattage PSU? With steam, you eliminate the power consumption of the optical drive, an SSD draws less than a mechanical, so do you really need a better PSU?
I say this as someone who always recommends a PSU upgrade. Its silly to put the life of your 1000$ system in the hands of a 50 dollar generic PSU. But I would bet for a lot of peoples needs a basic PSU is just fine. Good quality, but basic.
