    Would you buy a 1200w PSU just so the fan dosent come on when gaming

    I already have a z370 8700 1060 build. I have just bought a xigmatec nebula c. I am a silence fiend so am seriously considering buying a corsair hx1200i so that I can use up to 500-600w without the fan coming on. Am I taking things too far or is this something that is normal for silence seekers?
