What can you use a computer power supply for?

A computer power supply converts the AC power from the wall outlet into smaller DC voltages that power the various components of the computer. It regulates the voltages by rapidly connecting and disconnecting the load circuit (switched-mode power supply).

Can a power supply be too powerful for a motherboard?

No, you can not damage your system by having a powerful PSU and a small load. The PSU will still output the same 12v, 5v or 3.3v regardless of the load (up to the maximum it can handle). Having a higher wattage PSU means only that it can output higher amperage at these given voltage values (Watts = Volts x Amps).

Is it bad to have too big of a power supply?

No, an overkill power supply will not damage your PC. It’s not forcing excess power into your system. Your system takes what it needs. PSU’s are generally most efficient at half load, so if your machine uses 350 watts max, getting a 650 or 750 watt psu would save energy, and a 1000 watt would waste a little.
