Simple Questions - August 10, 2016

Is there any benefit to buying a power supply with more wattage than needed? I currently have a 950w and I'm going to be upgrading soon as preventative maintenance because of the current ones age/hrs of usage. I'm thinking of getting a 1000w-1200w but not sure if it's needed.

My current build:

Also, if there are newer models out or going to come out in 1-3 months I'd like to know. I'm wanting to get one with a 10 year warranty, no less than 5 years.
