Yeah, as long as you’re pulling more than like 20% of the rated power then having a slightly overspec power supply is only going to bring you good things.
To my knowledge, PSUs are rated up to a declared power output but unless you have hardware that requires all of its power, the PSU doesn’t put out the full charge.

The PSU doesn’t use more power just because it has a higher maximum capacity. Plus, a PSU is most efficient at partial loads (usually around 60-70%)
