Agreed, but considering the 680W is priced about the same as a 500, why not? After all, an extra €10 for an extra 180W seems pretty good to me, considering I'm paying an extra €15 for my DVD drive because the cheaper site doesn't have it in a nice colour. Beige?! Sooo 1990s.

Extra wattage is a good idea since a power supply is not intended to be used at max capacity most of the time. At less than full power it runs cooler and lasts longer, and the more capacity you have the more 'safety margin' you have for adding things to your machine later.
