Sure thing! Here are four different responses you might find helpful:

**Wattage**: First off, check the wattage. You want to make sure it can handle all your components, especially if you have a beefy GPU. A good rule of thumb is to get a PSU that’s slightly above what you need, like 20-30% more. Better safe than sorry, right?

**Efficiency Rating**: Look for a power supply with an 80 Plus rating. The higher the rating (like Gold or Platinum), the more efficient it is, which means less wasted energy and lower electricity bills. Plus, it usually means better build quality too!

**Modularity**: Consider whether you want a modular, semi-modular, or non-modular PSU. Modular ones let you use only the cables you need, which helps with cable management and airflow in your case. It makes everything look cleaner and can help with cooling.
