electronics are not ideal, i would not recommend a 470w pp&c because he does have power hungry components and while they might run on that psu, overclocking will demand more wattage. on top of that, caps will degrade over time, reducing the capcity of the psu, and then the psu might not be able to supply the system. and plus the psu will run hotter because more of its capacity is being used, and a psu's wattage capacity is also influenced by the temperature. the cooler a psu runs, the more wattage it will be able to supply. for example, pp&c's 610w will be able to supply a continous 610w at a temperature of 40C, a higher temperature will cause the psu to be able to supply slightly less(this depends on the temp) then 610w, and a lower temp will allow the psu to supply slightly higher wattage. so 470w, i would not recommend for him, but maybe for others
