So I wanna get SeaSonic's 520W Fanless PSU, but under full load my PC will draw like 325-350 Watts, while that is like the max it would draw would that be a safe amount of strain on the PSU

it's a very good psu, you will be absolutely fine. if you're worried though you could go for a psu that disables the fan under lower loads and turns the fan on when load or temperature get's too high.

I have a SeaSonic unit that is rated for 850W, and I have never had the fan come on even with my system under full load.

It is a 520W PSU from Seasonic, thus a 325W load on it will be fine.

 

Keep it somewhat cooled though. It is fanless after all :P

Doesn't SeaSonic use a standard housing for their units that have mounting points for the fans or am I mistaken in this fact?

I dunno, I was referring to keeping the thing cool with fans in the chassis
