Reliable PSU

[Charlie7940]

My dad is making a first build, and he wants to make sure that his PSU will last a LONG time as he uses his computer everyday for work. He needs somewhere between 350-400W, and I don't know any good reliable brands that will last...how much money should we spend on a PSU?

There it is. The only thing different is I'm going to have a DVD burner as well.

Thermaltake, OCZ, Antec - all good brands. I've also had good luck with Seasonic and Silverstone. You should be able to get a good PSU in that wattage range for around $50 though you could definitely pay more if you wanted to.

Fortron, PC POwer & Cooling and Enermax are also good brands.
