Also never cheap out on the PSU. If your shit PSU dies, it might fry every component in your PC, if your good PSU dies, you can just replace it.
I once had a PSU fail catastrophically- arcing, visible from around a corner and down a hall, and quite loud. I didn't want to go near it, circuit breakers were closer anyway, but I didn't know which one so I just hit them all. Once replaced, I fired up the machine and... I think the cmos was cleared, but other than that, no ill effects.
