It should be fine. Just depends on whether you care about having any extra headroom (i.e. higher wattage PSU would run cooler and quieter as less under load).
If you buy the Quad, the worst thing that can happen is the PC failing to switch on (if the PSU can't take it).

Really? I thought an unsuitable PSU can manifest itself in all sorts of annoying ways from blue screens to application instability?

That can happen, although I read that that usually happens with unbranded, rubbish can't-supply-they're-rated-wattage PSUs.
I have equally heard that the PSU simply fails to power up. Not the worst thing (sorry, should have rephrased), but if you're Corsair powers up fine, theres no reason why it wouldn't be able to sustain the load.
I don't know of the cost, but aren't there devices that can measure the current wattage you're PSU is actually supplying?
