will a power supply make a bottleneck

[BFighter]

uhm.. if you are overclocking and your psu can't provide enough power then, i think yes..

if you haven't got enough watts then you cant even run your pc

I really hope your not being serious. What do you think happens to things when they go "pop" especially electronics.

When electronics go there is usually smoke.

Uhm why?

You haven't even listed what you have for a system at this point?

And I'm going to assume that unless your running SLI or Xfire cards that 700w is plenty unless its a real cheap or crappy PSU.

700w is MORE than plenty for that.
