Did a power calculation and it was about 650W for the whole PC. Don't really like being that close to the full output power. Don't know if it's still true but I was always told PSU's ran happiest at about 50% load.

Cherrypicking one opposing comment, because I don't know either way.

"This is not true, depends on efficiency curve - every PSU has different.
Modern PSU's are most efficient in 20-80% range. Differences on efficiency per load are kinda marginal."
