Thanks, Ryan.
I appreciate your feedback. Yes, I also am beginning to think 1300W is overkill. The techs stress test all systems at the shop for a week or so, before releasing them and have their opinions re what has worked/not worked in the past. Maybe they were just being cautious and quoted the 1300W supply - reason being that apparently system components perform at their peak when power supply adequately meets all their peak operating needs, as well as, of course temps in the case are on the lower end of the scale at same time. I picked a larger case and more fans for improved air flow/cooling, but certainly do not want a space heater if 1000W will be enough. Apparently some power supplies will not ramp up their performance unless called upon by the components to deliver more...
