Well it isn't all about the watts. The quality of the power and the way it is delivered (amps on certain rails etc) are what is most important. Take a look here for how to shop for one:

And remember you get what you pay for with a PSU and it is often the most underrated part of your computer......and it is your first line of defense from that nasty real world AC power.

Good for gaming.....well a good psu will be good for gaming. Follow good reviews such as the ones at silentpc, xbit, and trusted.

Here are two recent big roundups
