So which do you pick a psu with peak wattage of 500w @ 0C or a psu with a max. Continuous wattage of 500w @50c? Now the problem is, you won’t be offered that FFXIV Gil question when going psu shopping.
Another thing is that the labels can just be plain wrong. for example, the amps stated may added up to be way more then what the wattage is stated, and this can be determined using the simple formula, Wattage=Amperage*Voltage (W=AV), (voltage being 12v,3v,5v,etc.) for example, a label might say that it can supply 380W of power over 2 12v rails, each one carrying 20A.
However by plugging the wattage and voltage into the formula we get V=~32amps. So while the rails may be able to carry 20A each, you cannot expect more then 32 Amps, and that is 32Amps assuming that your psu is running at the temperature that was used to determine the numbers on the label and assuming that the label is for the maximum continuous wattage.
Some companies such as PC Power & Cooling are very confident in their products and clearly state "470W @ 40C (520W peak)" so that you know at 40C, you'll be able to get a full 470W out of the psu with a peak wattage of 520W.
