Which is why I was wondering what he used it for. Most stock power supplies are pretty low-end in terms of endurance and in terms of the power actually supplied. Even boutique "gaming" PCs often come with supplies that are really too low to supply the power recommended for their video cards.

But if you don't use a video card (gaming, video processing), you probably don't need that powerful a PSU.
