If its an ATX supply then as long as the replacement is an ATX type for instance. The extra wattage is fine, just because the capacity is there and unused is not a problem in any sense. It simply means it is CAPABLE of delivering more current IF it needs to. It will not otherwise act any differently.	godfather (25)
