what about a less expensive power supply...

the computer says it supplies 300 watts...what level of wattage should i look for?

also, what other things to add or install on the new pc?
Power supply and UPS are 2 different things.

Power supply as typically used is the device used to supply power to your computer from the wall. It's an internal component of your computer.

A UPS is a battery backup to give you runtime in the event of power failure.
The BR1500 I mentioned is a UPS not a "power supply". This is external and is an added option.
