G620 w/ 72W power supply here with no problem. In real usage it never goes over 40W w/ an SSD, 250GB notebook drive and a tuner card.

Max power consumption of a G620 system (2 memory sticks, 1 SSD) is ~50W DC (at simultaneous full CPU and GPU load), that is the value you need to know when you choose a PSU.
