SuperMicro has a 750watt triple redundant PSU that fits the standard slot, it expensive but the best.

Hehe... sure, a casual user needs one of those... lol
I have a 100 watt Bestec PSU (in an HP) that's running 3 PCI expansion cards, 2 HDs, a CD drive and an 800MHz celeron and board.
It may be a bit more than 100, but that's what it says on the label...

I used to use Enermax exclusively, but recently switched to Antec TruePower/Trueblue for my current builds. I like the Trueblue 480W. Having said this, if I were building a box for me -- and money was available -- I would use the PC Power & Cooling 510.

The one the best suits the needs of your computer and all its parets as they work together, while not being a source of excessive heat or noise by itself or draining your wallet of money you need to pay the monthly electricity bill.
Saying that, I would add, "Don't worry so much about wattage, as much as what the PSU does with it".
