Yes I can comprehend how a 4980 + OC C2Q wouldn't be a good idea on a 485W that's 4 years old + doesn't have the required connectors.
As for your second point regarding pricing, that's true. But I was putting it into the context that more wattage of the same model = costs more (as is the case with TX 650 versus TX 750). Also do note that the OP didn't state his budget; but you make a valid argument as well. 20 bucks for 100W, some would go for it, others wouldn't. Depends on budget, and how flexible said budget is.
Buying big now won't have to buy a new one for a while is true, but not ENTIRELY true. PSU standards do change, and more wattage now = more future proof isn't entirely applicable. But I'm just nitpicking here your point makes sense.
And again, I didn't MEAN for him to keep his current PSU. But I did hope that he would have done more research towards what myself and other members have said.
The general message of my original post was more of a "hey look dude maybe you don't need the 750W that the other people are recommending as those are pretty expensive, you might only need a really good 550 - 600W and here's why" kind of post.
