One good one, I say. Because a rubbish one is more likely to kill other components when it goes poof.

just make sure theres nothing obviously wrong with the mainboard before trying the new powersupply.

mostly likely it was just the old power supply dying, and a new one will fix everything.

its not always about the brand, and you dont need a =really= expensive one.
they found that some of the less dirt cheap ones (that were still from china) are as good as the expensive ones.
IE: the ones you get inside a cheap case are junk. but a cheap power supply that you buy by itself = can be adequate to good.
just dont buy dirt cheap ones, it really is a false economy. this is true for most things. especially technology!

don't worry it was just a nuclear explosion :P
most probably nothing happened......just power supply problem.... however the possibilities are limitless.
If i were you i would check the power cord or the plug, maybe the reason it haven't started is because of no electricity going to the power supply and then a big surge of power arrived and burned the power supply. (electricity not being correctly administered)
