Folks, soon I will possess an S5. I am now looking to buy a PSU.

At some point in the future, it may be anywhere from 2-10 months, I will probably get another miner such as S7 etc.

Couple of questions -
1) Should I get a PSU that will support future miners? Ie. get something like a 1300-1500W PSU?
2) If yes, surely this will be overkill for a single S5 and will end up costing me more in electricity bills?
3) Should I instead get something like a 750W PSU and then later in the year buy another PSU if/when I need one?

Appreciate any thoughts.

I personally would say get a quality PSU and save yourself some trouble. It does not have to be some huge massive psu, but one from a good brand. I personally like to get a PSU that would power 2X of the item. In your case S5's, that way if I want I can order a second one and easily put it in.

A quality PSU can last longer then one generation of miner's even. So it can be considered a longterm investment.

That being said there is a recent change of a lot going with server PSU's. With these you can get a quality PSU (in a lot of cases) cheaper then a ATX power option. If you have a 220/240 I would seriously look into this option.
