lmao, the more wattage doesn't mean it always consumes max watts.

if your PC requires 500W, a 1600W psu will only take 500 watts from the wall.

besides, electricty is cheap my AC, water heater, fridge, clothes washer etc. all take wayy more energy

If you want to safe money on electricity why do you buy two graphics cards at all lol

As @Firewrath9 said, you will not use more than the computer actually uses. Which does not mean you should go get a 10 TW PSU xD

Just get some decent one like from Seasonic with Gold certificate.

Not the RM750x, if there are better options available at a similar price. Where are you buying from?
