It’s worthwhile to spend extra on an oversized PSU if using a higher-end GPU to reduce noise.
What would be nicer would be larger-than-ATX designs that use 200mm fans at very low RPMs. Cramming so many watts into small cases is an antique approach.
Doesn’t make much sense as there’s no norm for such designs, it would first need a different standard than ATX, but your idea doesn’t make much sense in general, bigger isn’t better and the current designs work very well.
Of course it makes sense. What doesn't make sense is stuffing 1300 watts into an ITX case and yet people are trying that.
ATX is an ancient outdated standard. GPUs have long been the best illustration of that but even PSUs are problematic now that more people have realized that noise pollution isn't wonderful.

At this rate we'll have to wire in our PCs like mainframes of old complete with water cooling.ballsystemlord - Wednesday, July 31, 2024 - link
Cooler Master should also sample this PSU to the YT'er Gamers Nexus. Steve has an opinion about glue. ;)PeachNCream - Thursday, August 8, 2024 - link
