Power Supply Information

Hi, i was wondering. When it comes to power supply, is it safe to go with something bigger (in terms of Wattage) or should it be measured out? Because to be honest im not sure as to how much im going to need in the future, and instead of buying one now, and then purchasing one later to upgrade as i need it, i thought maybe of simply getting a bigger one.
