It depends on your system, and whether the power supply is good quality. Wattage isn't everything.

Tier five is the worst you could possibly get while tier one is the best.

In your case i would get a Tier one 700 Watt PSU.

CPU: i5 6600k OCed to 4.5Ghz @ 1.35v, GPU: R9 390 Nitro, Motherboard: Asus z170-A, CPU Cooler: H100i GTX, RAM: HyperX 2x8 16gb DDR4, PSU: Seasonic x650, Storage: 850 EVO 500gb, WD 1tb blue, Case: H440 White/Black

If I understand you right, your current power supply is a 500W unit in tier 5 on that list? And you want to upgrade to a Corsair VS700?

 

You definitely need to get rid of the current unit if it's in tier 5. Corsair VS isn't that great either, though certainly a lot safer than anything in tier 5. Whether it needs to be 700W depends on your system. It's possible your system doesn't need that much, and then you can spend the money on getting higher quality instead of higher wattage.

Cooler Master V700 is a very good power supply. :)

 

I still don't know what the rest of your system is, but if you're using a single graphics card then the Cooler Master V700 is almost certainly going to be fine. Whereas some random piece of junk 500W unit could damage your hardware.

This has to be some serious trolling; varying wattage will not be more hazardous than another wattage. The power supply won't even use anywhere near that wattage with your low specs. Your system probably consumes under 200 watts with those specs. So if your only using 200 watts, and you buy an 80+ PSU; you'd have the lower end of the efficiency; generally the peak of efficiency is on 50% load; however it only varies a few percent. You'd probably have 78% efficiency on a 80+ rated unit. So you'd only pull 256 watts from the wall on load. The PSU will be running at room temperature. It will only be at a 27% load; and will not pose any threat to anything; unless you buy an already broken PSU.

Stop trolling; I clearly said, the wattage doesn't affect safety at all!

I'm not sure if you're trolling or not but i'm going to say this as clearly as possible, having a PSU that is overpowered for your components doesn't matter because the components will only use what they need what is really important is whether the PSU has enough wattage to power the parts and whether the PSU is of good quality. 

 

The components you have don't need much power so even a 400W PSU would be more than enough.
