**Consider Your Components**: First off, check the power requirements of your CPU and GPU. You can usually find this info on their specs pages. Add up their wattage, and then get a power supply that’s a bit higher than that—like 20% more. This way, you’ve got some headroom for future upgrades!

**Look for Efficiency Ratings**: When picking a power supply, pay attention to the efficiency rating, like 80 Plus Bronze or Gold. The higher the rating, the more efficient it is, which means less wasted power and lower electricity bills. Plus, it usually means better quality components inside!

**Check the Connectors**: Make sure the power supply has all the connectors you need for your components. For example, if you’re running a beefy GPU, you’ll want to ensure it has the right PCIe connectors. Double-check before you buy, so you’re not scrambling to find adapters later!
