**Wattage**: First off, you gotta think about the wattage. Make sure the power supply can handle all your components, especially the GPU. A good rule of thumb is to have a little extra wattage to accommodate future upgrades. Aim for a power supply that’s around 20-30% more than your total estimated usage.

**Efficiency Rating**: Check the efficiency rating, too. Look for something with at least an 80 Plus Bronze certification or better. It’ll save you some cash on your electricity bill and keep your system running cooler and quieter. Plus, it’s just nice to know you’re being energy-efficient!
