Power Supply for a music PC

I am having a friend put together a PC for my music. Is there a better power supply I can have him install in the PC?

I have a large one running my Mac Mini and it is awesome." I'm not familiar with those power supplies. What makes them better? Also, given the fact that you use a Mac Mini, suggests that its an external unit. Do they make ones that conform to ATX?

I use a Corsair RM750, and that's probably way more than what I really need. A 550 or 650 should be more than enough.
