I am looking to buy a Mid tower case, and I have a choice between 250 and 300w power supply. Will 250W power supply suffice my computing needs? Should I buy the case with the highest rating I can get? I would appreciate any tips on this.

If the price difference is small, go with 300.

Better having too much rather than not enough.

if you have an amd setup definetly go with the 300 watt. I would recommend the 300w as it provides more power for future upgrades.

I'd say if it was an AMD CPU, go with the 300W PS. It should only cost $15 more.

Will 350 W vs 250 make big difference on my electricity usage? I already have 3 computers running 24/7...

It doesn't affect power consumption. They give what the machine needs. A 300 Watts is capable of supplying more power if required, that's all.
