believe it or not the PSU is one of the more important parts in a computer. i overlook PSU back then (P3 era), when power consumption was not an issue. Now computer parts need a lot of power to operate. I generally have two things to look out:

1. PSU's capacity (in Watts). 350 Watts is a standard capacity bundled in cases.

2. PSU's power output on the 12V (in amperes). Generally anything 18A and above is good enough.

Look for high-end PSU if you have power-hungry components.

If it helps, here is a PSU calculator: http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculator.jsp
