Nothing
Unless you are assembling a new pc with multiple processors and hard disks, 4Gb ram and 2 graphics cards working in tandem etc!
Hope that helps!

If ur comp is working fine with 300 watts, then this change means nothing...
With 800 watts you can drive quad cores, 2 graphic cards with SLI and lots of LED illumination and fans in ur comp ... and still have 200 watts to spare...
Watt is a unit of power, and the power supply rating speaks about the maximum wattage it can supply to components... the more the wattage of the power supply, the more the components u can have and also of higher ratings...

Actually none
things may run a degree or 2 cooler in the power supply
the power supply only needs to be as big as the LOAD
watt is VOLTAGE * Current
you have 5 volt and 12 volt sources each device including
the hardrive cd or dvd video card etc use power
actually for most computers 450 watt is overkill

If your system is running smooth now, you most likely won't see any improvement.
If you plan to do some serious upgrading then a larger PSU(power supply) may be in line. Don't buy a cheap one as with most things in life you get what you pay for. A well built PSU from a well known company provides clean power for your PC components as well as has a level of protection for the investment.

I assume your computer is operating at this time? So it powers on and everything runs. Increasing the power supply wattage will not change anything about the machine it will only allow you to run more equipment within the same case, like additional hard drives, more powerful video card, etc.
If you have a power supply that powers everything in the system it is large enough.... if it wont you need a larger one.

You'll probably get a more expensive electricity bill. It has nothing to do with the speed of your system. Your hardware consumes electrical power. The more components you have in your pc the more power must be produced by the power supply. So if you got two hard disks, two optical devices and a graphics card which consumes a lot of power, you might need to upgrade the power supply. If you did not experience any problems till now, the current one is enough.
Repeat, your pc won't get faster through upgrading ;).

In physics, watt is the unit of power. Unless you're installing or adding new components to your PC and if you're PC is working fine, there's no need to upgrade the power supply. You'll practically see no difference whatsoever.

Watt is the unit of power. A power supply's wattage is the amount of power it could deliver. If you increase your power supply's wattage, here's what you will get:
1. Cooler running power supply.
2. Longer life of the unit
3. Plenty of elbow room for upgrades and "bling-blings"
4. A bigger dent on your wallet.

no change will be there if u increase ur wattage as ur pc doesnot
needs this
