Will more watts hurt?

[Ultimate Assassin]

I want to do Lunus' 1500 build, but with a few modifications. He uses a 700w PSU and I want to get an 800w because it is almost the same price and I will upgrade hardware later. If I use an 800w for a 700w build, will it damage my computer in any way? I am going to replace a few things too. Please comment if u know the answer.

 

Spec list for the modified hardware (things not listed will still be in use from the original build:

MSI GTX 970

GS 800W

Corsair SP High Performance fans

CS Storm Scout II Advanced (Linus used the non advanced version)

No, the PC will draw only what it needs.

not at all in fact if it is more efficient at the load point it will actually help

Yep, just like @Gofspar and @MeDownYou said, no harm at all.

But ~50% load is supposed to be the sweetspot for efficiency, keep that in mind if you need/want to keep an eye on your electricity bill.

 

Also, a bit offtopic: Are you sure you want to use the Corsair SP High Performance ones? They're not really quiet.
