With that PSU, your electricity bill must be quite high.

However, if the used watts stay in the lower levels, the psu will operate quite inefficient

A system with dual GTX 1080tis would still be nowhere near 1200 watts. It would typically only need a 850-950 watt power supply.

Future-proofing is a very poor concept nowadays as computer parts change so much. Buying a high-capacity power supply in particular isn't a good idea because components are getting more efficient rather than more power hungry nowadays.

The stronger the PSU, the cooler and more silent it is.

It's not about the maximum wattage, it's about how many watts he actually uses. His electricity bill won't be any higher than it would be with a more appropriate power supply.

It was a waste of money though, really.

I got a really good deal on the PSU. I had a 50% off coupon for a new PSU on Newegg because they fucked up really badly and sent the one I ordered to the wrong address TWICE, so they gave me that one for the price of the 900Watt one I was going to buy.
