Corsair would be my number one choice but there are plenty of other good brands out there too.

You don't often see Corsair available at local level here so I normally get online.

If the PC is not doing anything too demanding you could pick up a reasonable cheep one in the likes of Maplin or PCWorld.

I'm sorry, but that's wrong.
Not enough could cause problems, too much isn't an issue.
So long as the PSU (at whatever wattage) is creating a steady supply of 3.3, 5 and 12 Volts, you won't damage anything.

sorry it was late let me correct that statement:

not enough can damage components, however, psu's generally do not function properly if they are too lightly loaded. Under no-load conditions they may shut down or malfunction.
