A common misconception about power supplies is that they have more power over the cables. In reality, what the wattage is a measure of is the NUMBER of cables feeding off of the power supply.  Only in extreme cases, when you are running at 800W and up, are you going to get into situations where you are really going to see the system need to draw more power over existing cables.  Of course, if you're going SLI, this is an example of when things can get a little nuts.
