That thing is fairly inaccurate. I know for a fact that my system wont boot with less than 500 watts yet it shows me only needing 450. Although I guess it really depends to a degree. Still, it use it only as a rough guide, even if its more reliable than manufacturer stated wattage needed.

Your system won't boot with less than 500 watts?

I would be quite surprised if there's any non-overclocked desktop that doesn't boot with a quality 500w PSU.

At full load, a skulltrail system with dual QX9775 processors uses well under 500 watts. (1, 2, 3)

Im OC'd pretty heavily. Maybe my motherboard is just too smart. (vcore is as high as it can be safely, and thus so are my speeds. )
Either that, or that old antec PSU is finally dying.
