From my reading on this a few weeks ago, wattage is fine but the amps need to be looked at as well. Also, most manufactures skew their numbers to make the psu look much better then it is. I noted my card required 18 amps so I found a psu from Coolmax that was a few amps over what I needed as from my readings I did, it would seem the numbers on the side of your psu show what the psu can do under full load. Your psu is not if at all on full tilt ever(I'm assuming here). So, were is it overkill? I'm not sure really.
