**Wattage Matters**: First off, you gotta know how much power your PC needs. Check the total wattage of your components, especially the GPU, and get a power supply that can handle that with some headroom. You don’t wanna be running it at max capacity all the time.

**Efficiency Ratings**: Look for power supplies with good efficiency ratings, like 80 Plus Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum. The higher the rating, the less energy gets wasted as heat, which means lower electricity bills and better performance.

**Modular vs. Non-Modular**: Think about whether you want a modular power supply. Modular ones let you connect only the cables you need, which can help with cable management and airflow in your case. Non-modular ones come with all cables attached, which can be a bit messy.

**Brand Reputation**: Stick to reputable brands like Corsair, EVGA, or Seasonic. They usually have better quality control and warranties. You don’t wanna skimp on something that powers your whole rig!
