The main things to consider when choosing a power supply unit for your PC are:

first of all, you need to calculate the PSU capacity taking into account all the components of the system in total;
it is advisable to choose a power supply unit with extra power reserve for future system upgrades, but still within small limits;
it is important to determine the operating conditions of the system and future loads, whether the system is intended to be overclocked or will operate in normal mode;
pay attention to the presence of cables required to connect the components in the package, their length and additional advantages (cable coatings);
it is also important to run through the main parameters of the power supply specification, as well as user manual;
you also need to pay attention to the size of the power supply unit and its standard, as they determine the possibility to place the PSU in the selected case (some cases have restrictions on the length of the power supply unit).
