When building a computer the one component first time builders generally neglect is the power supply. I admit that with my first custom built computer I did not compare any power supplies. I just bought a case that came with a PSU, figuring I got a better deal. If you are building a new computer in 2007 then you are most likely going with a multi-core processor, and perhaps a multi-GPU video setup in the form of SLI (Nvidia cards) or Crossfire (ATI cards). In addition to the extra power needed for these modern components, the new era of high end video cards require their own power connector(s), which is another consideration when choosing a power supply.
