http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDFAQs is a nice little thing to look at.
Also, the unit that I listed was a platinum, and the one you just linked is gold.
Along with that:

I never asked to be told anything about power supplies, and I said specifically to be thorough about your research and backup.
I gave you advice on how to save money and get a more efficient (as in price and power usage) power supply and this is how you treat me? alright.

Of course this article is in german, sorry for that but the charts are idiot proof. This thing is only 2% less efficient, yet saves you a lot of headaches and costs a lot less than the PSU you had first.
More IS NOT BETTER. Wasting money on wattage you won't need and not spending that on a better GPU, Storage or hell knows what makes you look like a idiot and makes me cringe. Sorry.
