Not necessarily threaten, but it's not wise to cheap out on the PSU. Cheaping out on the PSU is like building a bridge with a foundation made of cheap materials that might crap out on you the moment there's a traffic jam. It might make it without breaking but you want to be 100% sure, lives are in danger ^^. The parallel is also true in terms of longevity... A cheap PSU isn't likely to last nearly as long as a quality PSU, and in the end you're likely to end up paying for it.

Always check reviews from reputable sites on the unit you're buying, and if you can't find reviews, then you need to be sure that the manufacturer is trustworthy.
