I've seen too many hard-to-diagnose problems that disappeared after 
replacing a sketchy PSU. Random hangs and crashes, hard drive errors, 
video noise, hang on reboot, etc. I no longer try to go cheap when 
choosing a PSU for builds.

For example, I currently recommend Corsair 750 Watt as a minimum, 
however, there are also other good quality brands. I concede there are 
lots of PCs out there running PSUs lesser than Corsair 750 Watt just 
fine. I do notice the PC on which I'm typing this is still running a 
cheap knock-off 350 Watt PSU that has not yet caused me any problems.
