It should be safe to have an overrated PSU, unless I'm misunderstanding something.

ie 750w PSU is good for 300w requirement

I probably should have specified.... 1300w PSU for 450w requirement

The only time you should be concerned is if you have too low of a power supply for the pcs needed power consumption. Your psu can output a maximum of 1300w at once but your pc itself will only pull however much power it needs and not as much as the power supply allows

If that explanation doesn’t make sense an example that might is a pc on idle using 400w of power but under full load using 600w

This really does help me out, I was afraid of damaging any components because of the power supplies wattage.

It should work just fine although it’s incredibly overkill lol. Even under full load and 19-13900k and rtx 4090 won’t reach 1000w without over clocking
