It may sound like preaching to the choir now but never skimp on your power supply.
Do your research (the PSU Tier list is helpful) and get one with the most protection possible (overvoltage, overcurrent, etc.)
My 7yo Seasonic PSU was fried recently during a thunderstorm (lightning struck nearby) but it protected the rest of my components from also being nuked. I just replaced it instead of replacing the whole system.
Also at least get a proper surge protector with ground or a decent AVR for an extra layer of protection.
