Soo simply if my pc only needs like 200w and I have like 750w power supply soo will my power will just drain to nothing all those like 500w would just go nowhere and I just pay more for my bill?
 
It will only use as much as it needs. It also will not run as efficiently as it could (power wise) with that large a PSU. If you only need 200W or so I'd go with a 450W PSU.

Depends on what you plan on upgrading. Unless you're running a gaming video card you'll never need more than 400W.

No but it's a waste to drop money on a PSU you don't need.
I just need to know If it doesnt matter how much watts is there.
 
RANDOM YELLING

If your PSU can't provide enough wattage then your PC won't function. If you can provide more than enough wattage to the system then that's great, but it won't automatically increase your power consumption.
