Look at it this way - You won't have to buy a new power supply for a while at least.

 

If you really want to know why, ask him, we can't tell you.

If you needed to upgrade, you're good for many years.

Who the hell build your rig?

Look at it this way, you have a good quality power supply with loads of room for upgrades. Why, you could save up some cash and buy just about any GPU you want, even a R9 295X2 will run more than fine. You also have enough room for case fans and anything else that might rely on it. Honestly, the biggest issue you might have is that you are only going to be using about 30-40% of the rated wattage atm so it might fall a bit on the efficiency side of things.
