Use this to calculate your wattage requirement. Keep in mind that PSU's are generally most efficient at 20-25% usage.

I guess it depends on which review site you're following. Every PSU review I've read has the best efficiency curve at 20-25% and slowly starts to drop off up until their rated efficiency and then quickly drops off.
Then again, I haven't read a TechReport PSU review. Have you guys ever done one?
