It may be the least glamorous part of a gaming PC, but its importance cannot be underestimated. All those components need to be powered, and if your PSU doesn't have enough juice to do the job, then you're not going to be playing anything. Most high-end components require a lot of power; the best way to figure out which PSU is best for you is to use a program that works out how much your rig needs. Generally, the more power a PSU can supply, the better. Not only are you making sure all your components run at top capacity, but should you want to add more in the future, you'll be able to do so without worrying about where the extra juice is going to come from.
