IMHO it doesn't matter much if it's rated 120W or 450W, as long as it's efficient, ie 80 PLUS Gold Certified, or even better like Platinum (92+).But here's 2 major cons: 1. high power PSUs are less effective at low power usage.
Maybe if consumption is less than 10% of the PSU's rating, ie less than 30W for a 300W PSU.
2. more expensive, after all.
Not necessarily. Is $45 expensive for a 300W PSU like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151113
