Although many C64 machines continue to work flawlessly, there is a probability that the original hardware will fail. So, when you buy a machine, make sure it actually works and that all the keys on the keyboard work well.
Eventually chips may fail. The usual suspects are the two CIA chips, the PLA chip, memory chips and perhaps even the SID (sound) and VIC (video) chips. You'll have to replace them if they fail. Note that Commodore produced cost reduced main boards towards the end of the C64's lifespan, which are not 100% the same as the ones that came before.
C64 reloaded is a C64 board you can buy which allows you to insert legacy c64 chips in a new main board.
Ultimate64 is an FPGA based 'implementation' of the original c64 hardware. Doesn't need any legacy hardware, but is a full working C64
1541Ultimate is a 1541 disk drive and tape emulator that slots into your C64 (much like the sd2iec)
Ray Carlsen is a great resource for hardware related things.
The original PSU has a tendency to fail. Failure of the PSU can fry chips in your C64. There are modern PSU's to prevent that from happening, or you can get a 'power saver' which serves the purpose of protecting your c64 from PSU failures.
Mapping the c64 Learn this and you know everything there is to know about your C64 hardware. It's a lot to take in.
