I always buy a 1000w PSU even when I don’t need one, because PSUs operate better when they’re not maxed out, and because idk what the future may bring.
A wildly overpowered PSU will also use more power at low loads, as that’s outside the efficiency range. The ratings (like gold or platinum) also usually don’t apply, as loads like that are not part of the certification process.
This may be irrelevant to you of course, depending on your electricity prices.
