I have an Enermax Galaxy DXX 1KW PSU and in my personal bo a CoolerMaster Realpower PRO 1250W PSU for my work box. I used to have an OCZ 650W PSU.
On the 650W unit, I never used more than about 500W, but I have needed more current on the 12v line than that PSU was capable of delivering. Stepping up to the larger power supplies gave me more current for the video cards, even though I am still not using more wattage than the old PSU. It is all about how much power is available on the PCIe connectors, moreso than how much total power.
A $55 1KW PSU is a tremendous deal, as long as it actually functions.
