A proof of purchase of/for

Hello,

Is it "a proof of purchase for" or just "proof purchase of" as in:
" I'm going to save this receipt as (a) proof of purchase (for/of) my new computer."

Thank you

" In general , both are correct. But for your example, "of " has a better semantic connection to my ear.
