The higher wattage rating means that your computer will run more efficiently with more components (hard drives, DVD burners, high end video and sound cards etc.) without robbing power from the processor and mother board.

A low wattage power supply in acomputer can effect your system greatly when adding multiple devices. When you put a to many devices that require more wattage that the power supply can provide, all of the devices will be deprived for power, therefor making you computer slowdown and not very efficient. It can also cause the power supply to burn out quicker.

There is no such thing as having a computer's power supply with too much wattage. The computer will only use what it needs.

The larger the power supply the more devices you can operate on it with maximum output.
