Would this Enermax power supply loose efficiency if I use it to power a single gtx 260 for now? Maybe later on I'll add another 260.

I know it's expensive, but it's the only one I've found that has filled my expectations. Would it loosing efficiency really affect?

I just like this power supply alot, I want a modular power supply that's silent, has good +12v rails, and enough cables for SLI.

I've also looked at other brands psu's, but none filled my expectations, because:

Antec Signature Signature 850W: most of the cables aren't modular, don't like the looks
OCZ: their modular psu's doesn't get this high in wattage
Zalman 750W: only has two cables for video cards (each GTX 260 takes two, so not SLI compatible)
Xigmatek 750W: not really sure, it's a new company, and I readed a review where it failed somewhere.
Thermaltake: I've never liked TT ps's, just personal opinion.

Rest of the system:

Intel i7 920 / Thermalright 120 Extreme
EVGA x58 mobo
OCZ Gold 6GB DDR3 1600 Cas 8
Seagate 500GB 7200.10
Lian Li PC-V1010B Case
 
For that much money, you might as well go with the Corsair HX1000.

What monitor/resolution are you using for this build? Which games are you (planning on) playing? I believe that your demands are too high for what you may have in mind... only, I don't really know what you have in mind.
 
I want to know if efficiency of the power supply is affected by how much load it's taking.

I would be playing games like Crysis, Call of Duty 4/5, Age of Conan
